About Thai
Thai is the official language of Thailand, spoken as a first language by about 21 million people and as a second language by tens of millions more across the country. Standard Thai is based on the speech of Bangkok and central Thailand.
Thai is a tonal language with five tones, so the same syllable can mean different things depending on its pitch. Politeness is shown with a particle at the end of a sentence: men say khrap and women say kha, as in sawatdee khrap (hello, said by a man). Thai has its own script with 44 consonant letters, and words are written without spaces between them. The guides use a Latin spelling to show the sounds, but spellings vary from one system to another.
