The Thai Language History

Hello everyone! Today I would like to share the interesting one of Thailand, that is The Thai language. Not much any one who interesting to study the Thai language because it is very difficult to speak and learn, especially the voice-spelling. When you would like to speak Thai very well, you need to control your tongue accent correctly such as: if you would like to spell "ร", you much flap your tongue "orrrrr".

First of all, I would like to explain where is the Thai language com from?. From my searching on the Internet, the Thai language is the authority language of Thailand country, include it is the main language of Thai people. Thai language is separate come from the Tai (ไต) language. It had abode come from South of China. Some linguist support that, this language has connected with Ostronician, Ostro-Asiatic, and Chaina-Tibet language. Moreover, the Thai language is the language has many difference voices and exact tone mark seem as Chinese language, because it is identity accent and word-spelling complication, which it was difficultly to spoken for the foreigners.

Second, Thai word means freedom and liberty, or another meaning that is the mightiness from enemies protection. The word of Thai borrow from Pali and Sanskrit. In the past, the Thai people would like birth the name that Tai (ไท), which it is the real Thai word, and became Thai (ไทย) by put "ย" behind of Tai word. The Thai people believe that, Pali and Sanskrit is the special language, therefore, they would like to set the name of country to be Thai or Thailand, that it mean the Thai nationality (ไทย)  who is the Tai person (ไท).

Third, in Thai language has separate for 3 type:

1. Consonant voices




2. Vowel voices

 


3. Tone mark voices

 


* Mixing picture

 

Finally, The Thai language is the lone word, that mean it does not have to change any  tense, case, mood, voice, and involve gender and number. the word in Thai does not have specific in it abilities. When we would like to connect it to become a sentences, it will line in from left to right such as, adjective should put after noun, or refer all of that, the main of structure: Noun+ adjective + verb+ adverb+ object. For example:-

ฉันกินข้าว = ฉัน (I) กิน (eat/ have/ take) ข้าว (rice)
= I eat rice.
* No matter it is any tenses or situation.

คุณดูสวยมากวันนี้ = คุณ (you) ดู (look) สวย (beautiful) มาก (very/so) วันนี้ (yesterday)
 = You look so beautiful, yesterday.
* No matter it is any tenses or situation
