There is really something special about this part of China. Together with northeast India, northern Myanmar, Northern Thailand, Northern Laos and Northwestern Vietnam, the beauty of nature and cultural diversity is like no other
There are two Dai groups in Yunnan: 1). Dai Lü (Tai Lue) living in Xishuangbanna are linguistically related to Northern Thai (Lanna or Tai Yuan), Northern Lao (Lanxang or Luangphabang Lao) and Eastern Shan (Kengtung or Tai Khün). They speak Chiangsaen languages, a subgroup of Southwestern Tai which Thai (Siamese) and Northern Lao belong to. Xishuangbanna Dai (Tai Lue) language has many Pali-Sanskrit loanwords like Thai and Lao. So Dai language in Xishuangbanna is more mutually intelligible with Northern Thai than Shan. 2). Dai Le (Tai Nüa or Chinese Shan) living in Dehong prefecture are related to Shan in Northern Shan (Tailand) and the Ahoms in Assam. They speak Northwestern Tai languages which are less mutually intellible with Thai. In fact, “Shan” (Old Burmese: Hsyam) is the same word as “Siam” (former name of Thailand) “Shyam, Assam and Ahom” (Asam in Assamese accent). It’s the exonym for Southwestern Tai people living in the western part of Chaophrya river valley to Assam.

it was very nice. Tai people, Dai people, Khmer people and Cambodia people, was together since the past from the early until the end of 9century( The Khmer empire, the greatest of Angkor wat). the way of living, foods, dance, architecture, ancient building, Thearavada Buddhism.
@@lekn5345 but between Thais and Shans the Dais are culturally more similar to Shans. Northern Thais are also more Shan than Thai. They both have huge Burmese cultural influence. Because of the hundreds of years of Burmese rule.
