Facts about the Thai language
The ability to communicate in Thai can benefit you greatly in building positive working and social relationships in Thailand. Thai words and phrases are easy to learn, however, proper pronunciation is harder to master. Thai, like Lao, Vietnamese and Chinese language is tonal, requiring the speaker to memorise both the particular intonation of a word as well as its phonetic pronunciation.
The standard form, Central Thai, is spoken in Bangkok and is the predominant form used in government, media and in schools. It should be noted that many regional variations of Thai are spoken and not all variations are mutually intelligible.
Written Thai was taken from the classical Indian language Sanskrit, which, like English, is read from left to right. Written Thai is spelled according to its pronunciation, so learning to read will inevitably help you learn to speak. Thai words are generally only one syllable, and more complex meanings are formed by attaching a prefix or arranging several words into a phrase.
Grammar in Thai language is dependent on word order not form or tense. Vocabulary in Thai changes depending on the degree of formality of the situation. For instance, there are formal and informal variations of common words such as “eat” and “drink” which are used differently depending on the context. The polite form of Thai language is often used as a signal of mutual respect rather than a hierarchal power structure.
