Hi!

Sorry for not answering your other message yet. I'll answer tomorrow. I've been working on a way to generate a dictionary for Thai, and I succeeded today. :) The source is: http://thai-language.com

This dictionary claims to have around 70000 entries, but there are thousands of example sentences that I eliminated, so the final file only contains around 46000 words. That's a good start, because Thai (just like Vietnamese) isn't inflected, so that's a lot of words.

@TasseDeCafe This is fantastic! Thanks so much. Just a few questions before merging:

  1. Is there a license for this data?
  2. I assume you generated the IPA automatically -- did you write your own script for this, or is there an existing tool that can convert Thai text to IPA?
  3. Am I correct in thinking that the diacritics over the vowels (e.g., í, ɯ̂, ǎ) indicate tones? Would it be possible to convert these to IPA tone letters (as in the Vietnamese dictionary)?
