The precise system was issued along with the general system in 1939.

The international standard ISO 11940 is a transliteration system, preserving all aspects of written Thai adding diacritics to the Roman letters. Its extension ISO 11940-2 defines a simplified transcription reflecting the spoken language. It is almost identical to RTGS. Libraries in English-speaking countries use the ALA-LC Romanization.
Transliteration, which adapts written form without altering the pronunciation when spoken out, is opposed to letter transcription, which is a letter by letter conversion of one language into another writing system. Still, most systems of transliteration map the letters of the source script to letters pronounced similarly in the target script ...
ISO 11940 is an ISO standard for the transliteration of Thai characters, published in 1998, updated in September 2003, and confirmed in 2008. An extension to this standard, named ISO 11940-2 , defines a simplified transcription based on it.

Therefore, the letter written may not have the same pronunciation in the initial ...
Modern Han Chinese consists of about 412 syllables [1] in 5 tones, so homophones abound and most non-Han words have multiple possible transcriptions. This is particularly true since Chinese is written as monosyllabic logograms, and consonant clusters foreign to Chinese must be broken into their constituent sounds (or omitted), despite being thought of as a single unit in their original language.
ISO 11940-2 is an ISO standard for a transliteration system of the Thai language into Latin characters. The full standard ISO 11940-2:2007 includes pronunciation rules and conversion tables of Thai consonants and vowels. It is a sequel to ISO 11940, describing a way to transform its transliteration into a broad transcription.
This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Thai on Wikipedia. It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Thai in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them.
