The current paper reports on variation in use of script found among the
signs examined. Of the 613 signs examined, 276 or 45% contained only one
script. Of these 276 single-script signs, the majority (158 or 57%) were written
in Thai script, with Roman script second (106 or 38%). The remaining singlescript
signs were in Japanese (8), Arabic (3) and Chinese (1). However the
majority of the signs in the data base (337 or 55%) contain multiple scripts. The
majority of these were either in Thai and English script or in Thai, Chinese and
English scripts. Figures 1 and 2 show the distribution of signs by script and by
source from the entire corpus.
