Thai is natively known as ภาษาไทย and belongs to the Kra-Dai, Tai, Southwestern Tai language family.
There are approximately 60 million native speakers worldwide.
Thai is the official language of Thailand and is a tonal language with five distinct tones that can change the meaning of a word.
The Thai script was created in 1283 by King Ramkhamhaeng the Great, adapted from Khmer script, which itself derived from Indian Brahmi.
Thai has no spaces between words; spaces are used only between clauses and sentences, making word boundary detection a key challenge in text processing.
The Thai language has an elaborate system of pronouns and particles that reflect social hierarchy, age, gender, and the relationship between speakers.
Thai has been influenced by Sanskrit, Pali, Khmer, and Chinese, with the royal vocabulary (Rachasap) being largely derived from Khmer and Sanskrit.
The Thai community in Australia numbers over 75,000 Thai-born residents, with communities concentrated in Sydney (Haymarket, Cabramatta), Melbourne, Brisbane, and regional areas. Migration includes skilled workers, family reunion, and Thai-Australian couples. Thai restaurants and businesses are ubiquitous across Australia. Songkran (Thai New Year), Loy Krathong, and Buddhist observances are key cultural events.
