What are the varieties of Thai?
Thai has four dialects, namely Central Thai, Northern Thai, North-eastern Thai and Southern Thai. Central Thai, the dialect local to the Bangkok region, is recognised as Standard Thai. These dialects are mutually intelligible in most cases.
The written Thai Language was introduced in 1283 which amazingly has undergone little change since then. However, Thai has been borrowing words from languages such as Khmer, Portuguese, certain Chinese dialects, Arabic and English. What’s intriguing is that Thai even has a heavily influenced form of colloquial English which is called “Tinglish”!
Did you know?
Thai, also historically known as Siamese, is the standard spoken and literary language of Thailand. It is amongst the 50 most widely spoken languages worldwide!
Interestingly, even though Thailand has only one standard language, it is actually home to 73 spoken languages, 51 of which are distinct indigenous languages.
