About Thai

The Central Thai of Bangkok and its environs is the most widely understood of the various Thai dialects; it is the language of television, radio and the one taught in school, because of this it is the variety used in the Fetch-a-Phrase Thai Phrasemaker.

Thai is in the same sub-group of the sino-tibetan language family as Lao, as a result the two languages are often mutually intelligible. The Shan language of Burma (Myanmar) is another close relative.

The Thai writing system is based on the Mon-Khmer script, which in its turn was based on Devanagari writing system of Southern India.

Thai is a tonal language; the pitch of the voice is altered when saying the vowels thereby changing the meaning of words. Most of the words are monosyllabic, i.e., comprised of one syllable. Polysyllabic words are generally loan words from other languages.

Basic Thai is fairly easy: verbs don't conjugate, tenses are very simple to construct, nouns don't have plural forms and the general word order is very similar to English.
