I really want to understand someting about this word.
Why if farang is a Thai word and one they made up. A word that they prounounce as "falang". Why in god's name do we spell it and pronounce it as farang and not falang???
I mean simply it's their word spoken the way they intend, so why? They have an R sound in the language as well as an L so if they mean for the word to sound as an L than we should spell it with an L shouldn't we?
This is not the same issue as for instance the English word "room" and they pronounce "our" word improperly as "loom"..... falang is their word.....what am I missing?
Help me understand this please!
