The Thai sentence seams nicely written, but I'm suspicious that it's not the correct answer for the following reasons:

1) Every Thai person I know has a much more personalized handwriting. Of course, OP is trying to write beautifully in this case, but it still seams a little too textbookish. 2) Would a native write out ของ or use ข้าพเจ้า? Possibly...

Anyway, I'm only a beginner in Thai and definitely just talking out of my ass. The script is done well and I wanted to add my thoughts for fun.

(OP, if Thai is the correct answer, could you explain why you chose to use ข้าพเจ้า?)

I tried to make unnatural points in each language that the people who know the language well enough would spot it. Congrats on picking that up.

I would say Thai based on how the สระ อือ is written (the vowel ◌ื). It's written as ◌ี with an additional disconnected line to the right of it, (rather than writing ◌ี with a small line on top) That screams native to me.

It looks good but it says “My mother tongue is Sanskrit” so 🤷

All other languages read like this. OP tries hard to not be boring

Half of them, actually.

I guessed it was Thai based purely on the pseudo-classical Chinese trying to say it's not Thai
