Origin and Rise of the Thai

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2019
- What is the origin of the Tai-Kadai people and the rise of the Thai nation? A group which has been consistently portrayed in America and the West as the wise, exotic and mystic heart of the Far East.
Today we will discuss the origins of the Tai-Kadai/Kra-Dai peoples and their modern migration and ethnogenesis as the modern Tai nations we see today. Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the modern Tai peoples and which Tai-Kadai group is of the most interest to you. Shout-out to the 0.5% of my audience with Tai ancestry. Thanks for watching!

We Tai Ahom(belongs Tai Kadai family) from assam still trying to preserve our own culture and language.
Good luck.
It is great to hear that the Ahom still preserve the legacy of Tai family. Greeting from Thailand.
We call you Tekhao.
Love from Manipur
welcome Tai Ahom, from Thai,Thailand
wish you luck
There's one thing that is necessary to be corrected about Thai history. Mon people who was the indigenous of the land didn't declined and only became a minority ethnic. From nowadays DNA observation we found that all people of Thailand's DNAs contain Mon DNA in very large portion especially of people in the central plain. So in fact, most of the Mon in the ancient time were assimilated to speak Thai and the two cultures were merged into one.
Lots of love from Tai-Ahom(Assam,North-East of India)...proud to be of Tai Heritage...Tai-Ahoms ruled majority of north-east India for 600 years....uniting the tribes of North-East with brotherhood....defeated mughals 17 times...we Tai-Ahoms have a population of around 15 lakhs in Assam alone🙂🙏🏼
Meiteis of manipur were known as Lai-tais. According to the ancient chant from Lai haroaba.
Its said tai people from yunnan came to assam travelling through arunachal.
Meitei people came from upper burma to manipur to find new land and chose the valley.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
now a minority
I hope to meet more Tai-Ahom people in real life, I don’t think ive ever met someone who is Tai-Ahom yet. Im from Bangkok and my mom is from the south, my dad from north-east of Thailand. I am definitely a mix of different Tai-kradai groups and ethnicities.
me as Tai ahom i m proud of it
As a Thai, I really appreciate this video. Thanks for making this
As a 1/2 Thai, I agree. Not much taught here in the American public school system regarding Thailand...or most of Asia for that part except Japan and China.
Bai Yue/Bach viet tribes .Ethnic groups who inhabited the regions of Southern China.InThe local minority speaks a Thai language related to northern Thai, a language spoken in Chiang Mai! When I tried to speak with a lady at a ‘Thai’ restaurant south of the Mekong river, I realised they use words in common with central Thai like ‘mai’ (wood), ‘nam’ (liquid) and ‘phak’ (vegetable), but their words for greetings were totally different from central Thai (‘sawasdee krap’), and so was the their word for rice (‘kao’ in central Thai). The touristic concrete architecture is Thai-inspired, but there are old houses with Thai style too, and there are buddhist monks.
If the current hypotheses are true, the Thai population of Thailand emanate from the Shan states in Burma which emanate from southern Yunnan.
"Bach Viet" is a term that refers to the Vietnamese people or the Vietnamese nation. The term "Bach Viet" (百越) is composed of two Chinese characters: "百" means "hundred" and "越" refers to the Yue people, an ancient ethnic group in southern China. The term "Bach Viet" historically referred to the various ethnic groups inhabiting the region that is now northern Vietnam.
I like how this channel covers peoples from around the entire world and not just one region
Although I am late to this video but Wow.. You covered the Tai Ahom people of North East Indian State of Assam. Many Thanks from a Tai Ahom.
Warm wishes and good health to you from Thailand.

Excellent, thorough and well-informed history of Thailand. Thank you very much.
Masaman, as a Thai, I would like to say Thank you for your accurate and very detail analysis about us.
Very accurate and well researched video. :)
As a Thai national that is also ethnically Lao (Lao is also a Tai ethnic group), the topic of Tai tribes have always interested me.
Tai ahom from North East India here.
@chonburi11 nope. My grandma used to speak a dilect that was a mix of tai and Assamese (the local language). I know a few tai words and letters here and there. But the government has failed to introduce our ancestral languages in the curriculum. The Indian government discriminates us and in general all the people of South East Asian origin, living in northeast India.
From what I heard, the Thai government prohibits official education in regional languages. I’ve even heard people refer to the language spoken in Isan as a dialect of Thai, despite the fact that it is a dialect of Lao. What is it like to speak a regional dialect in Thailand? When I visited the country a few years ago, it was pretty surreal to me seeing Malay Muslims in southern Thailand speaking fluent Thai, and I saw signs written in both Thai and the Arabic-based Malay script.
Pure Thai here 🙋🏻♀️ no Chinese or anything else mixed in my family lol
@Da Phetdala
Hi ya, appreciate this vid thanks! Nice to have a voice over instead of just music and text as with some others I've seen recently and it's a concise + informative
You have done very good research. Fascinating facts and also well presented. :)
My mother is from the Ahom community in Assam who as you mentioned were originally Thai migrants and the language used by the Ahom people even today is called Tai. (Although very few speakers are left).
chonburi11 okay the fact that you know this is impressive and you must be Axomia to know this much about the place. The khamti people are I guess considered a sub group of the general Tai people group. Oh btw they are also present in Arunachal and in Assam as far as I know their population is concentrated towards dhemaji and lakhimpur side.
chonburi11 well not really tbh. It's the same as tai. Not many active speakers are left.
The Tai Khamti people are there but nowadays they mostly speak Assamese.
long ago all tai was the same family as ai lao . till chinese attack . then tai family was broken apart . some tai group run to northern of india . some run to the southern of china and somewhere else .still today many tai population are alot in soutern china . taiwan was the one . but they mix more chinese and speak chinese .
Bro...thanks for sharing our history..means a lot🙂🙏🏼❤️
Deuta tumar islam dhormoiyo neki bro...huda karone beya napaba akou🙂🙏🏼
@@larlar1824 Bro Tai origin was chinese too , if chinese attack then its the same people and culture linguistically and genetically Tai is way closer to chinese with a hint of Black people called aborigines.
Well done, one of the best Thai videos I’ve seen so far. 👏🙏 keep up the good work 😎
Good video. Very dense in information and judging by the comments all pretty accurate. Well done.
Thanks for making this video about this very interesting and often forgotten people and area
As an American who's lived in Thailand for 16 years, it's interesting that I've never heard of the word "Tai-Kadai" because the majority of people in Thailand refer to themselves as simply "Thai." I love watching videos about where I grew up so thank you so much for giving people an opportunity to learn about a truly fascinating region of the world!
Thais are not so into this history
Thai is just one group of the Tai Kadai race. Others are Zuang of Guanxi the largest minority of China ,Lao people of Laos and so called Isamn or Thai Lao people. The Dai minority of South China. China is 4 civilizations the Han btw Yellow and Yangste , south of Yangste the Southern Chinese nations and ethnics , The tIbetan Western , The Turkic and Mongolic North west and the Tungusc Northeastern part.
@@primzilledingyv9299isnt Dai and Tai the same. Dai just Chinese name
@@tinapham9780 yes
The names in Chinese 傣 (Dai) and 泰 (Tai) are the same
I'm Thai and was standing around one day in the middle of Bangkok minding my own business when this guy walked up to me and struck up a conversation - I understood absolutely everything he said but all the words where out of order or sounded slightly wrong. I started panicking because I figured I must be having a stroke. Then he explained that he was from a small minority group in Cambodia and that he thought I looked like one of his people so he tried to talk to me. Thailand is a lot more diverse than anyone realizes, funnily enough all the groups that contributed to the melting pot around here started off looking similar anyway.
@Da Phetdala Thai language also has Persian, Sanskrit, and Pali influences

You can still check out the audio-only version on my second channel. I have no idea what map it was in the video that got the entire thing taken down, so I don't wanna risk re-uploading it. Might revisit in the future.

There's a running joke about the last name Da Sikla being cursed(don't really care for the joke)
You speak very fast, which makes it a bit hard to follow considering the immense amount of thoroughly researched material. But, reducing the speed of the video in the YT settings helps. Thanks for the upload! :)
i love your work!! Keep it up!!
I enjoyed this very much!
Thanks for covering Southeast Asia, an area which is usually forgotten
As and Australia living in Thailand for 5 years I find this documentary well researched, informative and accurate. Please use 4K as we need Ultra High Definition to read the maps and charts. Titles on photographs would help us identify and locate things like that incredible temple on a rock. I have visited many of your locations and can identify them but your audience would benefit from titles. Subtitles of your commentary are also essential to help us get the correct spelling, although sadly computer generated subtitles are often so inaccurate that they confuse and mislead.
I appreciate that your script is very tactful and sensitive yet honest and objective to this wonderful region of the world. Thank you.
chonburi11 The Hindu and Buddhist history, architecture, sculpture and painting is very interesting to me. The freedom to use non compliant transport, motorcycles, samlors, tuk tuks and the like is great fun, But I have bought a car for comfort and air conditioning. . I am treated with respect and the women are to die for. I can live comfortably but not extravagantly here, I have deliberately not learned to speak Thai, because of the non Roman alphabet and many difficulties in pronunciation I only use English. When absolutely necessary Google Translate, but it is not very accurate. No Thai language means I avoid discussing politics, religion and business, Sex is best communicated with smiles and the gentle touch. 😍 PS. I love the Sanctuary of Truth in Chonburi. Wonderful to see sculptors working with teak creating and restoring the temple. You would probably prefer to be sailing under the Sydney Harbor bridge and passed the Sydney Opera House.

@@bobjuniel8683 you just give up your own benefit if you're living in Thailand by not learning thai. Many foreigners found Learning thai is surprisingly easy if you can catch the principle and trick. I would say frankly you might take much longer time to be able to discuss advance things in Thai than to understand basic. So don't worry about that. ภาษาไทย ง่ายนิดเดียว
kitten as trophy your advice has merit but I am very old, nearly died last year, and I have taught my Thai friend a lot of English. With Google translate, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” I came came to Thailand to sketch and paint watercolours not to learn to speak Thai. But you are right, learning the language usually gives a very different understanding of the people and the culture. สวัสดีครับ Bob

They did the equivalent of cutting of an arm to avoid colonization
Siam negotiated away a lot of its non-Thai empire to preserve independence. But, Thai independence served a very important purpose. It was a buffer state between the two major colonial powers of Britain and France. It helped to avoid war between the two nations during the colonial era.
NoirFan01 and the Thai's did cleverly play one of against the other to keep most of they country
NoirFan01 no. There were many war one was Franco - Siam war.

Great video, Mason! As a linguist, I'd be interested to know the origins of the Tai-Kadai language family. I don't specialize in that region, but articles I have seen suggest that Tai-Kadai likely has a close connection to Austronesian. One theory is that they were a branch of Austronesians that back-migrated to the Asian mainland (possibly from Taiwan or the Philippines) and then underwent a lot of linguistic influence from Austro-Asiatic, Hmong-Mien, and finally Sino-Tibetan, leading to the original connection with Austronesian becoming obscured.
The Tai ethnic group is diverse and consists of various subgroups. Here are some of the Tai subgroup names in the mentioned countries:
- India: Ahom, Khamti
- China: Dai, Zhuang
- Thailand: Thai, Isan
- Laos: Lao, Tai Dam
- Vietnam: Thai Dam, Tay
- Myanmar: Shan, Tai Khun
These subgroups may have variations in language, culture, and traditions within the broader Tai ethnic category.
This was excellent.
Love this video.
My late great grandma's side of the family is from one of the Tai-Kadai tribes in southwest China aka Yunnan province. When we traveled to Laos and Thailand, my relatives can understand about 60% of Laotian, 40% of Thai. It's fascinating!
she was probably Zhuang
Dai in Yunan China, Thai in Thailand, Laotian in Laos, Shan in Myanmar are same ethnic people with different name.
Laotian just only 20%
@chonburi11 i am from Sri Lanka some words also same thai words

Fascinating! Here are my usual suggestions:
1. Reiterating Zoroastrianism and British Overseas Territories (aka. Inhabited Sub-Antarctic Islands), Maori/Chatham Islands, Australian Aboriginals, Cultures of the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Shetlands, and Orkney's (maybe Faeroe Islands/Iceland as well)
2. I second the suggestions for Tibet, Vietnam, and Ryukyu Islands!
3. Predictions on ethnic groups that might evolve from today's current events, especially the refugee crisis
4. What if North America united into one country?
5. What the British Isles would look like if the UK dissolved and separated into different countries
6. ***I would suggest explaining the situation in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, as they are set for the world's next independence referendum in June 2019.***
7. Jan Myen, Svalbard, and other lesser known inhabited Arctic Islands
8. Republic of Indian Stream, Republic of Madawaska, Vermont Republic, the Aroostook War
9. Seven Year's War-Why is it sometimes called World War 0 ?
10. Pan-Earth ethnicity and a single nation planet in an (obviously) completely speculative scenario
11. Insular Chile Explained/South EAST Pacific
12. Who were the Normans?
13. Scots-Irish (Ulster Scots)
14. Greek Islands of the Mediterranean
15. Tonga, Nauru-a deeper look of Oceania
16. Bir Tawil
17. Are there any Australian Aboriginal Americans?
18. Illyrians, Thracians, Dalmatians, etc.
19. Bermuda
20. Mauritius, Reunion, Mayotte, Comoros, Seychelles, Maldives, Socotra, + a refresher on the Chagoss Islands
21. Sri Lanka
22. Esperanto culture and the real world cultural impact of artificial languages (include Neutral Moressnet [aka. Amekijo])
23. The Mormon Kingdom on Beaver Island, Michigan
24. Zulu Empire + Mfacane
25. What if the Caribbean united into one country (aka. "Indonesia of the East")
26. Mongolia and Tuva + People's of Eastern Siberia (take a look at the Ainu with that one as well)
27. Garamante Empire
28. Micronations of Europe: Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican City (mention the Seborga situation)
29. Other Micronations: Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Lesotho, Singapore, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, etc.
30. Nepal and Bhutan
31. Finland and Estonia and their relation to other Uralic groups. Why do they stand out as culturally different in their native regions?
32. Georgia (country) and Georgia (state) done in one video to help differentiate the two. Not connected-and that's the point!
absurd
Wow.. I am Thai and I am impressed with your research. Nothing so far is incorrect.
He is wrong. he copied the outdated colonialism or thai patriotism version of history from หลวงพิบูลฯ era. We thai never migrated from China. Study the correct history. Since you can read thai , there're abundant of the correct one to read. คนไทยไม่เคยอพยพมาจากเขาอัลไต ใครเชื่อก็คงเกิดยุคจอมพลแปลก
@@kittenastrophy5951 There are multiple tribes/races of people that are mixed into the so called Thai people today. There are the Lua, Khom, Mon, and Tais, and other Austranesian groups. Many groups originate around here in the modern Thai boundaries, but the Tai group surely are from southern China. There are scattered groups of Tai speaking people in Northern Thailand, North Eastern Myanmar, North Eastern india, and Southern China, all of whom share the fair skin and more Chinese-looking features than any other groups mentioned above. Since ancient history (less than 1500 years ago), the ruling class of kingdoms in Siam usually had fairer skin since they were desecndants from people who originate up in the north. This was recorded by ancient foreign merchants. All around the world, nobody has fair colored skin in the tropics, so it must have come from other origins. The Tai part of Thai language also shares some striking similarities with Some chinese and Korean language which is very far up north. Anyway, Tai language of the Tais have won major popularity since the Tai tribe also won a lot of war against other groups and found domination over them. But due to political reasons, they intermixed with Khom and Mon and Lua people. Eventually, the mixes over 1000+ years have cocktailed into what you see today and call ourselves Thai. So.. It is correct to say that Thais did not migrate from China but rather was a product of blending. But if you talk about our language which is a Tai group, and a vast number of our blood and culture, , it is without a doubt from a group that have originated elsewhere.. And most certainly up north of Thaland krub.
@@kittenastrophy5951 And that information presented in this video about the spread-out of Tai group did not come from Jom Pol Por.., but actually from modern day anthropological studies krub.

Central thai dialect is the correct way to communicate among thais from different regions. Strangely as thai writing can represent the other dialects pronunciation but nobody has ever writing with their own dialect. They just write with central thai words whenever they start to write.

Vtron None, I grew up speaking English in Australia . Most speak their tribal tongue plus the national common language, Tok Pisin (which is a Pidgin). English too if they have a high school education.
Vtron The traditional languages are so numerous and can vary from valley to valley. None really stand out except Motu which is spoken over a larger area by the people on the south coast around Port Moresby.
My Mother’s people are from the coast of the Sepik region.
Thanks for posting. OMG. I have so many comments and questions based on this video. For now I will only mention one topic.

Persians had quite the influence on Thai history, look up Bunnag Family.
This is quite true, I am an exemple of this influence being part Persian-Thai and Lao. My dad’s side is mostly of Persian descent and they have been living in Thailand since the end of the 1800 as well as in Laos since early 1900.
I'm Thai and my family has Persian heritage. We don't really preserve any Persian traditions sadly, those ancestors assimilated with mainstream Thai culture. As far as I know the main influence from this group is some loan words. 'Farang' started off as a word taken from Persian traders for example There's a lot of foreign advisers that were kept around royal courts, this is something Thai kings like to do. So yeah you had people like the Bunnag family but also lots of Indian, European, Chinese etc families advising and interfering in politics cancelling each other out. I would hazard a guess that in recent history the Portuguese left a greater legacy having introduced chilli to us. As a Thai, I feel this is a big deal.

Masaman!! Any chance you could do a video the Cham people ??? The old Muslim empire of the Cambodia ..
My friend's grandfather was a government official in Bangkok during WW2. When the Japanese army moved across Thailand, going east to west, the upper class people of Bangkok moved into the jungle east of the city, against the motion of the Japanese, who were driving toward Burma and India. There, the nobility lived in a jungle fort and lived off what they could harvest from the jungle until WW2 ended. Then they moved back to the city and took up their lives. My friend's father told me about this, reminiscing about his childhood in the jungle. When he was old enough for college, he chose the United States because he heard that we eat hamburgers with our hands, and he didn't know how to use Western utensils.
If he didn't know how to use western utensils that's mean he wasn't noble, we use western utensils since century ago when modernized country.
@@hub6490 But remember he had to live in the jungle during WW2. I am sure he knew how to use Western utensils, he just didn’t feel comfortable with it. Anyway, that’s the story he told me. I know that his family is noble, because when his brother, who was a general, died, my friend’s father was in the funeral ceremony, and the ceremony showed their status.
Siamization also occured in many parts of nowadays Thailand, due to Thai victory against military campaign to neighbouring kingdoms.
Khmer in east, Burmese in the west and Mon and Buddhist Malay in the southern Thailand. Now they all became siam by ethnicity due to strong Siam influence.
I kinda wished you could have covered the "Luk Khreung" and how it has had an impact on Thai society as a whole. Many Thai actors are of foreign descent.

When my friends and I visited Luang Phrabang in Laos they spoke the same dialect which is totally different from what is spoken in Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. In Lampang there are two temples you can find evidence of battles the Lanna fought against the Burmese and the Central Thai (Ayutthaya) situated only 20 km apart, though those wars happened in different centuries. My point is 'country' and 'nationality' are modern concepts. Both do not carry much meaning going back a couple hundred years.
@Da Phetdala Lanna and Lan Chang were separate kingdom. This is fact, you ignorant inferiority complex. Lanna did the right thing to unite with Bangkok and now deserve the good karma of prosperity.
@@kittenastrophy5951 lanna and lanxang was not separate kingdom .it just has two name . lanna was a same family of luang prabang . this two kingdom has been protect by one king from the start . jao fangoum to xiyah sethathirath . and 12banna tai lue was part of lanxang .
@Da Phetdala siamese was lie to luang prabang too . to get victory over viengchan . even now siamese lie about the truth history too .
@@user-bl6ol4lh8u Stop spreading communist info. Lanna derived Mon scribes and Speak Kham Muang (Tai Yuon) while Lan Xang derived Khmer Scribes and speak Lao. Both were Tai but had been always 2 separate kingdoms. Lanna was established by Mangrai in 12th century. You probably couldn't understand Lanna writing system and local phases.
@@FukcVV communist ? i am talking about history here .. anyway what ever you try to denial . but i am not try to begging your lanna to love lao . i just try to be honest to history . tai is lao . we came from one place in yunnan . i can see you try to making up some history here while you being thai and good now . i think your knowledgement kinda short . ไช้ ใหม่ ครรรรรับ พี่ นอ้ง ครรรรับ . เญัน ๆ ไว้ กอน . เญัน ๆ ไว้ กอน 😄 16 จัง วัด ของ อี สาน นะ

How did you get that picture ???

Finally, Vid about my country.
@chonburi11 Chiang Mai.
Talk about tai Khamti people
I'm from a tribe called Khamti in the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh
My language also matches with the tai kradai family
Would be great if you could complete the Tai-Kradai with the addition of Laos as well. A well forgotten nation that has a majority Tai (not Thai of Thailand) population.

Tai Kra Dai (also known as Tai Khün or Tai Khün Daw) is a Tai language spoken by the Tai Kra Dai people in China, Myanmar (Burma), and Thailand. The Tai Kra Dai people primarily reside in the Yunnan province of China, where they form a minority ethnic group. In Myanmar, they can be found in Shan State and in northern Thailand, they are concentrated in the Chiang Mai and Lamphun provinces. Tai Kra Dai is considered a member of the larger Tai-Kadai language family, which also includes other Tai languages such as Thai and Lao.

Who
In the history of North East, India(Assam)......our ancestors (TAI AHOM king, Chouloung siu-ka-pha) came from Thailand, combodia, Vietnam ,Laos etc....we read in history that at first they used Tai language but now we used Assamese language ....and here other tai group's people (khamti,phake etc )living with us like brotherhood from the ancient time....but they used Tai language
Surprisingly my sister is going to Thailand 🇹🇭 for vacation!
Advise her to not go to the southern regions inhabited by muslims otherwise she will end like the two scandinavians in morroco.
Tell her do not I mean do not try the Thai shark fin soup. Last foreigner who ate it head exploded on the beach. Like seriously 😳 be careful.
Avoid the centipedes.
@@tulparkultigintengrikut8440 You meant "most southern 3 provinces" the rest are fine, they behaved well unlike those who are from 3 southern most.
Please check out Demographia, it would mean a lot!
I,m tai ahom .we never forget our tradition.we always love China.plz help our community tai brother.
dek heay China love Thai and Thai culture
@@wudi2864 yes chinese love thai but not siam thailand
I love this guy’s videos. He is very smart. But sometimes I get lost while listening. He jumps from talking about the core native ethnicities of a region to talking about European colonizers as if they had an equal genetic impact. I haven’t seen any dna tests that show people in Thailand with European or Persian ancestry. A lot of times these people have a very minuscule to nonexistent genetic impact on the places they colonized. He mentions that sometimes but other times does not. He agrees that different races and regions exist but then goes over board in describing the diversity in every place he talks about. Sometimes it makes me wonder if we really do have separate races and regions. I thought we did. But overall, this is a very good channel!
It's not just a tai kadai family I'm Thai. It surprised me a lot.When we found out and also ancient Thai people had DNA associated with northern Chinese people. (Thai ancient people are half Chinese). The latest information on ancient DNA ... Prof. Dr. Viphu also took a sample of ancient DNA in Pangmapha District, Mae Hong Son Province, 1,600-1,800 years old found that Pangmapha DNA has a 50% genetic ratio from northern China. This information goes into Thaipbs' TH-cam's topic of DNA, ancient people, cave-in.
What an interesting region of the world.
