Thai...
"Thailand, known as Siam until
1939, has been called ‘White
Elephant Land’ (so, incidently, has
Laos), because the Royal
White Elephant is revered by the people. The Thai (meaning
‘free’) people have been dominant in this land since the 13th
century. In Thailand, a B_ddhist
nation, there are three times as
many B_ddhist monks and novices as
there are
Christians. Yet
Christian mies., at work there for almost a century and a
half, have sponsored education and medical facilities and have
developed a church of somewhat over 20,000 members.
The national language of Thailand is spoken by about two thirds
of the country’s 30 million inhabitants. Many speak Yuan,
Lao,
or another regional language. The standard, official Thai,
spreading through its nation-wide use as the language of educa-
tion, is based on the central Thai, or Bangkok, usage.
Thus
‘standard Thai’, as spoken by the educated, is basically the
Bangkok regional language with certain modifications in usage.
Thai and related tongues are linguistically grouped in a class
known as the Tai languages, a class that comprises tongues
spoken by at least 40 million people, from
Burma to south-
eastern China. Within this
group are the Thai, Thai
Yuan,
Tai Lü,
Lao, and
Hkün of Thailand and Laos, the
Shans of
Burma, and the Chung-Chia,
Tai Ya, and others of China
(where Tai speakers are sometimes known by the collective
term ‘Pai-i’). The Thai alphabet has been used since the
13th
century. Probably derived from the
Khmer writing, it consists of
44 consonants, 30 vowel marks, and numerous accents." --1000 Tongues,
