name in Thai.
Devon
Juanita
Could someone help me ?

Mike

Devon is a tough one.
there is no 'v' sound in Thai as such and they tend to use the Thai character which makes a 'w' sound.
a friend of mine had his name tattooed on his arm as 'Dewid' his name is David.

How about:
เดวน or เดวล
จุหานิทา
Tuk
No Thai fonts; but this would not be pronounced correctly. Eliminate this part; จุห and replace it with "wah wan" and a Thai would pronounce it almost perfectly.จุหานิทา
The above spellings of "devon" are about as close as you're ever gonna get. Maybe the squiggly line symbol above the "wah wan" character, The one next to the underscore character on my keyboard, making the sara "a" more like the eh sound for Thais. looked in my books can't find the name of it...
If "Juanita" is pronounced Spanish way then it maybe like this:
หัวนิทา
Tuk
Thanks everyone, all the family were really pleased to see their names
in Thai. I can't wait to move over this summer.

I don't have Thai font on my laptop so I can't write it out in Thai, but
my spelling of Juanita would go:
wor wua..sara ah..nor noo..sara ee..tor tahan..sara a
At least that's how we pronounce it in Australia: Wah-nee-ta
Humm... you know the letters names but have no Thai fonts. I can write and read but don't know the name of even one letterI don't have Thai font on my laptop so I can't write it out in Thai, but my spelling of Juanita would go:
wor wua..sara ah..nor noo..sara ee..tor tahan..sara a

This page apparantly translates English to Thai as you type it on the keyboard. It's pretty cool but as I can't read Thai I can't vouch for it's accuracy.

My PC at home in Bangsaen has Thai font, but we are in Australia at the moment and my laptop doesn't.Originally Posted by Tukata
Tuk, if someone asks you to spell something in Thai over the phone, how do you do it?
Well, in 20 years it never happened. No Thai will ask Falang to spell words. Of course I can learn the names in one day but never found the need or the use.Tuk, if someone asks you to spell something in Thai over the phone, how do you do it?

Unless of course, you are a farang and speak Thai, and they want to test the depth of your skills. That happens!
