Heubner’s ArticleHeubner’s Article Focus on the way different languages can be mixed in signs in
Bangkok. Sample: The researchers analyzed all signs in the target neighborhoods
in Bangkok. He says that English is known by many Thais in addition to foreigners
in Bangkok. Most signs contained Thai script, but most also had more than one
script too. Having English on a sign gives it more international flavor than just
having it in the local language.
