History of Thai
Thai evolved from Proto-Tai languages of southern China. The Thai script was created by King Ramkhamhaeng in 1283, adapted from Khmer writing. Thai absorbed vocabulary from Sanskrit, Pali, and Chinese. Thailand's independence throughout colonialism preserved the language without European influence.
Is Thai Hard to Learn?
Thai has five tones where mispronunciation changes meaning. The script has 44 consonants, 15 vowels, and no spaces between words. However, grammar is relatively simple with no conjugations, articles, or plurals.
