Love from Tai-Ahom(Assam)India🙂🙏🏼❤️
In the 1930s and onward, during the Chinese civil war, many thousands Dai people migrated south toward mainland SE Asia.
In the Xiang Khuang Province, Laos, hundreds of thousands of their descendants are still living there.
Dai or Tai ethnic group were ethnically different from the Han Chineses. During the Tang Dynasty (600-900 AD), the Nanchao Kingdom consisted of several Dai ethnic groups; this was a powerful kingdom. Their territory was vast, centred in what is now Yunnan Province and extended to the
Present day Northern part of Mainland SE Asia. They had sent many military expedition into SE Asia against the Khmer Empire, who had dominated SE Asia at the time. In the 13th Center, the Dai were subjugated by the Mongols under Kubla Khan. Many Dai people fled south and settled in the present day Burma, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
Dai or Tai language, religion (Theravada Buddhism) and cultures were more Indianized. The Lao, Thai and Burmese still celebrate the Water Festival like the Dai of today. Dai’s old written scripts were ver py similar to the old Burmese, Lao and Thai alphabet. As a matter of fact, the Lao and Thai borrowed many things from the Dai including languages, traditions and ways of worship.
No burmese and thai are not related.Burmese celebrat water festival because water festival is old buddhism festival .Not burmese original.Burmese language is Sino-tibetan language like tibetan ,yi, chinese.
Alphabet is similar because burmese,this,lao,dai and even Balinese,javanese alphabet are all base on brahmic script and brahmic script is also originally Buddhism script and burmese,dai,thai are all borrow alphabet writing script
Yes, some Dai people are fled to burmese and now become Shan people en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shan_people
Here is Sino-tibetan languageen.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Tibetan_languages
And here is Kra dai language
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kra%E2%80%93Dai_languages
Shan People are Tai ethnic minority who migrated from Southern China. There are many Tai ethnic minorities who migrated southward into Mainland SE Asia over the millennium.
Dai colled in Assam Tai. They came from Yunnan province in12 century and ruled Assam up to British Authorities came. The first King was great Sukafa. You can search more about Assam Tai Ahom history.
The ancient Dai or Tai people followed Theravada Buddhism, the predominant religion in Burma, Laos and Thailand.
Notice that chants by the Buddhist monks are similar to those in the temple of Burma, Laos and Thailand. These Buddhists monks give the sermon in Pali or Sanskrit, old Indian languages.
I don't think they weren't always buddhist. Because the Ahom king Chaolung Sukapha who came to Assam from Yunnan in 1228 didn't bring Buddhism. Instead they practiced animism and ancestor worship, and slowly adopted hinduism after a few generations. But the later groups to have come like phake, khamti, aiton etc were all Buddhist.
@@o0...957 Tai in Vietnam still practice animism and ancestor worshipping not Buddhism.
@@lekn5345 Oh, its good they are keeping their culture alive
Love see our Penong Tai/Dai
Pi-Nong Tai hao!
Mysterious Lan Xang the land of million elephants.
To say the Thai people of Thailand originated from the Dai in Yunan. According to history there was the hugh Nanchao kingdom of the Dai who migrated west and southward after persecution from K Khan in the 13 century.This is Xishuangbana. Very good documentary for the world.
Yes not only Thai but also many other ethnicities like Tai Ahom,Tai Lue etc
@@taiahomology Are you Ahom from Assam?
I recently took a Ancestry.com test, I am part Dai!
I took 23 and Me and I got 3 percent Dai.
Me too.... I am 23% Dai.
It's a standard to explain dna part of Southern china minority
Linchang is Lan Xang in lao.
Good to eat with the Dai .
Great water culture. Water is life.

My DNA test if accurate notes 6% Dai from S.E. coastal China. Presumably it's from my maternal side as I am 40% Black Aboriginal/Visayan filipino and 42% sub-Saharan African the rest a percentage of N.Han/ S.Han Chinese/Japanese/Vietnamese/ Thai.
Hmmm, no wonder even Fijians ask if I'm of Fijian heritage!
It's my understanding that China has been a maritime culture that has circumnavigated the earth at least once during Jung Hes' admiralty in the early 1400's. The Mongols were as well although they had traveled throughout the Asiatic seas to India. I was under the impression that perhaps these Dai people were Aboriginal Asiatics as opposed to the indigenous East Asians we now refer to as the Chinese in westernized parlance.
Per 23andme ancestry, I am 75% Dai. I need to go back and meet my relatives. Lol
I have 25% Fai and the rest is unknown ethnicity in my` dna 🐁
