# A.U.A. Language Center poster 83m: script l (with outlined V) (English-language poster distributed in Bangkok)

A pronunciation chart in a language-teaching set. A grey side-view diagram of the mouth shows lips, teeth, palate and a cross-hatched tongue positioned for the sound l, shown with a script letter l beside an outlined V, with 'V ℓ' printed at lower left and the line 'A.U.A. Language Center' below. The poster teaches English pronunciation and makes no political argument. The tell is transfer, only weakly: the instruction carries the language centre's name as its institutional authority.
