I doubt you answered fully. You never have. (I'll check it out and laugh at you some more) You've been asked at LEAST three simple questions by me. All of which failed to get any answer. Your Karaoke Thai is excrutiatingly painful... I mean seriously, if you were Thai, you would NEVER write like this. You write like a Sexpat Loser... funny that.

Oh you LOSER!!! You mean that bullshit about 'r' and 'l' being interchangeable? You mean like 'Flied Lice Velly Dericious'? Well done Einstein! I picked up on that and laughed at you weeks ago. ****! No, you didn't answer ANYTHING in Thai script. You were asked several questions which could have been answered in English. For example, I wrote out the name of Bangkok for you in Thai script and asked you to find the mistakes... there were three HUGE mistakes... you didn't see any of them. I asked you which dialect you speak, you couldn't answer choice A, B or C! You FAIL. You're a liar... and even worse... you're a **** liar. You can't even be a convincing Troll. You suck at this.

If you were Thai, you would know that some of those posts in the 'Farang' thread actually WERE on topic... but you didn't notice.... Wonder why.

Thai = Tai (or any combination of other groups of ppl not descendent of Tai) who live or are from the greater Thai Kingdom. from what little I know.... Tai peoples hailed from the sino-tibetan plateau and have given rise to the Thai people who inhabit Thailand and the Tai people who inhabit the TaiYai kingdom in Burma. Their languages are quite similiar. They have given rise to several other linguistic groups and ethnicities but Mon is not one of them. At least I am pretty sure about that. Why are you so hell bent on considering Thai peoples to be ethnic Thai and therefore ethnic Tai? just wondering. so you can be accurate about something? btw I loved your title "Is Thai Ethnic" to show you are actually Thai and cannot know when to use the adjective ethnic or the noun ethnicity. "Is Thai an ethnic group" would be a better title. or are the Thai people considered an ethnic group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not really hell bent thats funny, someone suggested that Thai was just a nationality on the other thread, so i wondered why he thought that? You can just call it my quest for knowledge. Thai itself as bittche said, I think, is not an ethnic of itself but a subgroup of the over all Tai ppl. Then again, there are subgroups of Tai who live in under the umbrella of the Thai Kingdom. Tai Puan, Tai Yuan, Tai Isaan(lao), TaiYai(Shan), Tai Dam, Tai etc... all live under the Thai umbrella. Thats the real reason why Siam was changed to Thailand wasnt it? the attempt to unify all the Tai ppl under the golden umbrella. anyway, i think its both an ethnicity as well as a nationality.

If you consider it an ethnicity, what ethnicity are Thai ppl? That comment was from me. The people of modern Thailand are descendents of these (and other) ethnic groups: Khmer Hmong Mon Pyu Yoy Bru Karen Lisu Han Tai Malay I've listed Tai because it used to be a distinct ethnic group. But now it's often used to refer to a collection of ethnic groups. I like to think of Thailand as a mix of ethnicities, because even today it's very clear that there are different cultures, languages, music and traditions within Thailand.

I agree that Thailand has many different ethnic groups, but who are the Thai ppl themselves. (ethnicly) the Karen are the karen, the Malay are Malay, Khmer are Khmer, Mon are Mon, etc.... reading Thai history books, All books suggest the Thai ppl are those Tai i mentioned before.

Neo Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 reading Thai history books, All books suggest the Thai ppl are those Tai i mentioned before. Are you suggesting the Thai people who are, for example, Khmer descendents and who speak the Khmer language are not Thai? The Thai people are the result of over 1000 years of mixing and migration of the many ethnicities. Genetically, the original Tai people form a small part of what is now the Thai nation. Culturally, it's clear that there are diverse ethnicities in Thailand, corresponding to some of the ethnic groups that comprise it's population.

It's a free world.) and pity the book I reserved at the library hasn't yet arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
