Title: No one has done this better than Mary Haas.
Review: The Thai writing system is not as complex as it appears at first glance, but can be somewhat frustrating for speakers of English. Mary Haas lays out the system very very well. As with all older texts, and as other reviewers have noted, this one would benefit from a reprinting with modern and more elegant laser fonts. As Derek Tonkin and Franklin Huffman set the standard for textbooks on the Khmer writing system, Mary Haas has done the same for Thai.
