The Thai script is the writing system used to write the Thai language. Overview. The Thai script is an abugida and brahmic script, which means that vowel markings must be attached to a consonant letter. The consonants are always written in order from left to right, but vowels have rules where it must be written to the left, right, top, or bottom of the first consonant in each syllable.  An example of this will use the Thai consonant ก to show where the following vowel must be written. Spaces are not used to set words apart, but sentences and clauses. Punctuation markers are not normally used. For instance, the sentence "I like to eat fried rice, but she likes to eat pad thai" would be written in Thai as ฉันชอบกินข้าวผัด แต่เธอชอบกินผัดไทย. If one were to place spaces in between each word (which Thai does not do), it would be written as ฉัน ชอบ กิน ข้าว ผัด แต่ เธอ ชอบ กิน ผัด ไทย. History. The writing system was based on the Old Khmer Script, but it made changes because the Old Khmer Script did not show tones, which was an important part of the Thai language. To make the writing system suitable for the Thai language, the Thai script added new letters and tone markers that would show the tone of a word.  The Thai script was the first known writing system in the world to show the tones of a word. Even though the Chinese writing system existed before the Thai script was invented and that Chinese was a tonal language at that time, there was no writing system that could show the tones of Chinese words until much later.  The first time Chinese would be written using the Latin alphabet and tone markers was the Portuguese-Chinese dictionary written by Matteo Ricci and Lazzaro Cattanero written around the 16th century. Letters. Thai has 44 consonant letters, 32 vowel markers and combinations

This deal was meant to ease concerns about Iran developing nuclear weapons, which could be dangerous for global security. By allowing more oversight and limiting their nuclear activities, Iran aimed to show that their nuclear program was "peaceful" and "not intended for weapons". In exchange, they expected economic benefits from lifted sanctions, such as being able to trade more freely with other nations and access to frozen assets abroad. Participants. The JCPOA, which started in January 2016, puts limits on Iran's nuclear activities meant for peaceful purposes.

The European Union (EU) was also involved. Some countries in the Middle East, like "Saudi Arabia", felt left out of the discussions.

It occurs in the form of perfect crystals grouped in druses, in pegmatites, and is often of precious-stone quality.
