ต้นกำเนิดของอักษรไทย The Origin of the Thai script

Please note that this is not a lecture and just a discussion. None of these are my personal opinions but facts based on my research with the sources I used. Although I try to be thorough and fact check any controversial information from multiple sources before presenting it, I request you to not take anything I say for granted and conduct your own independent research. All feedback is welcome 🙂

Typo error alert!
Sorry I was little tired editing the video and I forgot to make these edits.
1) Phoenician script images used for Aramaic (It’s easier to compare and see the evolution)
2) The mon inscription is from wat pathom Jedi nakhon pathom in Pali language and old Mon script

Apologies 🙏🏻 Viewer discretion advised
