Which tones it gives
A live syllable with no mark gets the mid tone. A dead one gets the high tone with a short vowel and the falling tone with a long one. Marks: ◌่ → falling, ◌้ → high.
Kai says
ท is named after ทหาร, tá-hǎan, soldier. It's the most common of the six t letters: ที่, tîi, place or which, and ทำ, tam, to do, both start with it.
