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.
About Elsmore
Elsmore is a rural village, with a population of 327 (2006), in Gough County on the Northern Tablelands, New South Wales, Australia The village is situated 10 km east of Inverell, New South Wales, just north of the Macintyre River and is within Inverell Shire. Elsmore (also known as Ellmore and originally Glenmore) station of about 50,000 acres (200 km2) was settled by John Campbell in 1838.
The first official licensees of this run were Campbell & Muir in 1839. In 1843 the owners were Brown & Alcorn. The recorded stock numbers in 1850 were: 66 horses, 1,200 cattle and no sheep. Alexander Campbell of Inverell Station owned Elsmore in 1852.
Around 1870 Joseph Wills, a shepherd, is believed to have been the first to find tin in the New England district. These heavy black grains that he found near Elsmore aroused his curiosity. Shortly after selling these to a traveller from Sydney a rush began to search the tin fields around here, Inverell and other nearby areas. The Elsmore mine was the first commercial tin mine in Australia and has produced tin from various alluvial deposits intermittently since 1871. The adjacent Sheep Station Hill has seen only minor scale hard rock and alluvial mining.
