Thai Language Alphabet Vowels Numbers. 


The language of Thailand is one of most ancient of languages in the East and the South Eastern part of Asia. It is monosyllabic and uses the five basic tones of high, mid, low, rising, and falling tone to change the meaning of a single syllable. It is this particular aspect that makes it a difficult language for most Westerners to master but learning it is helpful never the less.
The Thai language is both the national and the official language of Thailand and it is also the mother tongue of the local people.

The Thai language is one of the members of the Tai Group that belongs to the Tai- Kadai family. The Tai- Kadai group of languages has originated from Southern China though linguists have linked it to the Austronesian, the Austroasiatic, or Sino-Tibetan family of languages.

The Central Thai or the Siamese or the Standard Thai is the main language spoken by approximately 25 million people. This is the main language. But there are derivatives like the Khorat Thai that is spoken by about 400,000 people in Nakhon Ratchasima. Along with the Standard Thai there are many important dialects that are spoken and some of them are-
Isan is known as the North Eastern Thai and it is the language of the Isan region. It bears a close resemblance to the Lao language though it is written in the Thai alphabet.
Galung language spoken in the Nakhon Phanom province
Nyaw language is spoken in Sakhon Nakhon province, Nakhon Phanom province and Udon Thani province of Northeast Thailand.

These are the main dialects but besides these there are the Lü (Tai Lue, Dai), Phuan, Shan, Southern Thai (Pak Dtai) and Thai Dam to name a few others. The dialects are spoken by people in the different regions of Thailand.

Besides the variations in dialects Standard Thai is composed also of different very interesting social contexts. These are spoken outside Thailand as well.
