Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Tai Ahom language.
The Ahom language is one of main Tai languages of Assam which was in mainstream from 13th to 18th century during the Ahom Kingdom established by Sukapha. But after the Burmese invasions and subsequent colonization of Assam, Ahom language was replaced by Assamese language and ceased to exist in spoken. However, efforts are being made to bring it back to mainstream by several Ahom organizations and linguists.
The Ahom people are all of diverse origin as when the small number of Tai hordes they decided to assimilate the several indigenous tribes like Morans, Borahis, Chutias, Deoris, Dimasas, Miris, etc in their own fold through a process called Ahomisation.
The Ahom culture is a unique blend of Tai, and local tribal elements. The Ahoms practiced a form of ancestor worship and revered natural elements such as the sun, moon, and rivers. Their festivals and rituals often involved elaborate ceremonies to honor their deities and ancestors. One of the key festivals is the Me-Dam-Me-Phi, dedicated to ancestor worship.
The word Me Dam Me Phi, can be broken into Me meaning offering, Dam meaning the dead and Phi meaning spirits, or an offering to the spirits of the dead. The Ahoms doesn't believe in afterlife but rather that each person becomes a spirit after his death and worshipping the ancestral spirits brings goodwill to the people. Ahoms also believe in animal sacrifice. The cow sacrifice is especially important for Um pha worship and similarly many other birds are also sacrificed to offer to the ancestral spirits.

Thanks a lot Andy 😇

@@LearnAhomAhom Thailand very similiar and big brother
@@Banyuwangiball54 are you balinese?
@@LearnAhom yes i love linguistic language ❤️🇮🇩
As an Indian as much as i know it is a revived language from complete extinction. Many schools in ahom populated region teach this language. And today it has 2000 second speakers of this language. Ahom people are reviving this beautiful language😊😊😊😊.
So what language they use before they revive it?
@@definzgoody5448 Assamese language still used by almost every 4 million tai ahom people which is an indo European language.
Assamese is also an old language with rich literature almost 1200 years old. There are 40 million Assamese speaker in the world.
It is as sad to see a language go extinct as it would be if a tribe went extinct
Keep this language alive at all costs.
One thing that some linguists may notice: Ahom preserves Old Shan (Hsyam) initial “R” which is also preserved in modern Siamese (Central and Southern Thai) and Zhuang in Guangxi while in other Tai languages, e.g. Northern Thai, Lao, Shan, Dai in Yunnan and Thái/Tày in Vietnam, “R” is shifted to “H”.
Proto-Tai: *rawᴬ (we, us)
Tai Ahom: 𑜍𑜧 (raw)
Standard Thai: เรา (rao)
Standard Zhuang: 僂 (raeuz)
Northern Thai (Lanna): ᩁᩮᩢᩣ (hao)
Lao: ເຮົາ (hao)
Shan: ႁဝ်း (hao)
Tai Lü (Xishuangbanna Dai): ᦣᧁ (hao)
Tai Nüa (Dehong Dai): ᥞᥝᥰ (hao)
Tai Dam (Thái Việt): ꪹꪭꪱ (hao)
As an Ahom, I am very proud today. It's my fortune to have been born into an Ahom priest family, which enabled me to learn our language from childhood through the traditional rituals' chants. Initially, I could only read the script and didn't know the correct intonation. However, the new generation is making efforts to revive our language and culture. I hope that one day this effort will come to fruition.
Who do you pray to as the supreme God ?
@@Nick-Odd God = Pha or Phra
Probably Ahom people should reconnect with Shan people in Myanmar and Thai people in Thailand
@@AloysioWisnu nah we are descendants lachit borphukan. We are hindu .
@@AloysioWisnu actually ahoms do
Dear Kra-Dai fellow! Tai Ahom is grouped under Northwestern Tai together with Tai Khamti, Shan and Dehong Dai. Tai Ahom language is contemporary with Old Thai (Siamese) used in Sukhothai kingdom so they share some similarities in the lexicon. The name “Ahom” (Sanskrit spelling: Asam) is the same root with “Assam”, “Shan” (Old Burmese: Hsyam) and the former name of Thailand “Siam”.
Yes.The Thai Ahom dialect is similar to the original dialect of Siam (Korat and Suphan Buri). more vocabulary is the original words of the Siamese language which are still in use.
As a tai ahom thank you for this video. I love you random filipino youtuber for making this video. Also you could come to assam on me-dam-me-phi when other tai communities from thailand, myanmar and Vietnam visit us for ancestral worshipping
As a thai who from chiangmai & speak lanna ( กำเมือง ) but grew up with among Shan ( ไทใหญ่ ) speaker ; It's considered understandable at about 40-50% for me btw .
Basic vocabulary is considered easy to understand tho , but just when it's a long sentence, I can capture only some part of it //at least it still able to understand
How many ethnic group is there in Thailand?
I thought Thailand is just Thai people
@@definzgoody5448I am Nyaw ethic in northeast who speak nyaw language,Thailand just like many country in this region have diversity of languages and culture,my ethnic background is from kra dai origin ,so is similar to Lao more than Siam
@@user-ls2pf8um5y พี่เป็นคนญ้อฝั่งจังหวัดไหนเหรอคะ นี่ยังไม่เคยรู้จักใครที่เป็นไทญ้อเลย ;-;
@@ChaeNbBufนครพนมครับ
As a central thai who can speak northern dialect, I also understand this one for like 30-40% and more than half of vocabulary is kinda understandable after second listen
Andy we a thank you our kra-dai language
The script looks beautiful, I already love this language.
Wow wow wow 😳😳. I'm from Assam and I didn't expect this.. 🎉🎉
As a Tai Ahom, it pains me that I can neither understand or write my own language. Thank you so much for making us aware of our heritage
why are you being pained when you can learn the language instead? literally check the channel mentioned in description
It's ,Xirok_tai
From Moran Tribe Assam ❤️
Keep up the good work, Tai Ahom Pe Ong Le ✊🐉❤️
❤️💖🤗🥰
Love from Assam ❤
I love ahom language ❤
As a thai i understand only 35%😭
Yes, they're also Tai people. Also they got invaded by Burmese like Thailand / Siam Ayutthya. So, the only big enough Tai language other than Thai is Tai Lao.
คำศัพท์เดิมๆเยอะครับ ผมฟังออก60% ถ้ารู้คำเมืองและอีสาน ฟังออกได้เยอะกว่านี้แนะนำ สำเนียงเหน่อแบบสุพรรณ โคราชเลย
@@user-my8xr5uo6q ผมเป็นคนอีสานครับแต่พ่อผมพูดโคราชแต่ผมฟังไม่ออก
@@edola6092 คนเหนือค่ะ ฟังออกเกือบ 70% คือมันคล้ายภาษาพวกไทลื้อผสมไทใหญ่ คนเหนือฟังออกได้ง่ายกว่าค่ะ
❤achievement
An infamous Indian language.
I'm just wanna say sooooooooooosooooooo much thanks andy,,
As a Thai, I understand only the vocabulary part with English translation.
How about sample text without English translation? Do you get something?
@@rizalsandy I only understand certain sentences that sound very similar to Thai, such as:
* Ahom: tang wan tang khün - Thai: thang wan thang khün (all day all night)
* Ahom: tang phun tang lum - Thai: thang fon thang lom (all rain all wind)
* Ahom: yang mee ruu - Thai: yang mi ruu (not yet known)
* Ahom: yang mee dai - Thai: yang mi dai (not yet gotten)
A great language but unfortunately it's dying out.
It's an extinct language but revived now with 2000 speakers. And some schools are teaching this language with this beautiful script.
Ahom people now adopt the Assamese language which Indo European
Request: Finnish and Mongolian?
Please video about Proto-Kra-Dai language: the ancestor of Tai Ahom.
i wanna see assam as a independent country .
#Just my thought
i support swadhin axom
কেতিয়া হব স্বাধীন অসম 😭😭😭?
Ground reality.
A landlocked country with no sea ports and limited energy resources is not sustainable.
On the other hand Assam consists of diverse ethnicities and communities will never be unified for a cause. Sub- nationalism of different tribe has created a big dent in pan-Assamese nationalism.
Majority of Enthnic Hindu Assamese society would chose to remain with India.
Tribal indigenous people will seek constitutional safeguard within Indian union rather than supporting sovereign assam.
A few peoples of lower and mid assam and some of upper Assam would support secession from Indian state.
@@zazaborrk1171Assam has lot of oil reserves and Natural Gas reserves what do you mean limited resources
@@zazaborrk1171 assamese nationalism is not sub nationalism, and indian nationalism is not even nationalism
india is not a nation but 32 nations connected by the british rail, just someone disrail the chicken corridor and assam will de facto become a separate country
anyway the tribal indigenous people have been the forefront of seeking separate country rather than those sham constitutional safeguards that only resulted in settling bangladeshi and mainland migrants in their lands

Can you do the Brahui language next?
Thank you
I need a volunteer. :D
Could you make Iraqi Arabic and Persian?
Rohingya vs Chittagonian, please
Could You provide how their tones are reconstructed?
we made our own tonal system with help of shan tonal system, it is not perfect yet. but we will keep working on it
I would guess tones are represented in writing, which helps, it was also spoken until two centuries ago, so there may be some materials describing the tones. That's how we can reconstruct the ancient Greek pitch accent too, because of the writing system and the grammarians. Also, if there are related languages in the region, they can be compared.
@@valerioluizfelipe No, the Ahom script did not record any tones.
@@glennzoo sorry, I was under the impression those marks around it were tone marks, but they seem to be the vowels
@@valerioluizfelipeIt doesn’t have tone markers like Thai, Lao or Burmese. Tones can be guessed by the first consonant
Asian tribes😊
Shan silimir Tai ahom
Tai Ahom - Indonesian
kao1 - (a)ku
mau4 - (ka)mu
nuk5 - manuk (Sundanese)
taa1 - mata
Isn't kao similar to "kau" instead of "aku"?
I'd love to see any comments comparing Austronesian and Tai languages.
In Jarai (Austronesian language in Vietnam) it is also Kao
Try looking for Austro-Tai hypothesis. There are like 100 of shared vocabulary between Kra-Dai languages and Austronesian languages. Hlai and Kra languages also have Austronesian-like numbers, unlike the rest of Kra-Dai languages that adopted Chinese numbers.
Bro it's pronounced sutia in the native language you know
Marhaba i dont know say english :/
Please do meiteilon of Manipur 😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
already done, check
How many alphabets India has? 😮
Does this look like Arabic, yes or no?
Number sounds similar to Sino-Tibetan languages
Well its like that in literally every tai language except for the number 1
I mean, they ARE Sinitic numerals
I love Magadhi prakrit's Assamese language ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
it is ahom not assamese
sino tibetan numbers
Please do rai language 😢
axomiya manuh bhal manuh
Etiya sob oxomiya hobo,, we Never wanna get inside in a umbrella community full off bullshits
Compare Assamese and Tai ahom 😅
Totally different, not even in the same language family.
Sounds like an Indian speaking Thai.
Yup obviously,, Tai ahoms are indian and speaking tai ,,kun: mau, mang: 😂😂😂
0:54💀
Bro it's the name of a tribe in Assam. Not everything is Hindi. And it's a serious matter because I have heard that someone from Assam was denied a job because their surname was Chutia.
@@o0...957 😂he lost job due to it…its sad,but its also hilarious
and the pajeeet kumar inserting his hindian in an english video, no wonder you people don't have toiIets in your home
𑜒𑜑𑜪𑜨 seems to be not correct . Should it be 𑜒𑜡 𑜑𑜪𑜤 !
That's totally wrong , it's might be 𑜀𑜫𑜠 𑜑𑜪𑜨 , but ac to a linguist we kept it 𑜀𑜫𑜑𑜪𑜨
here comes the ahom language experts, who cannot even write ahom correctly
𑜒𑜡𑜑𑜪𑜤 = Aahum
𑜒𑜑𑜪𑜨 = Ahom
iman confidence kor pora ahe apunar buzi napau
Sorry ! Myself not an expert . I just tried to adhere to monosyllabic principle .
@@davidburagohain3476 what principles do proper nouns follow and ahom is not even a tai word to begin with
Its like 𑜀𑜥 𑜍𑜨𑜂𑜫 𑜃𑜩𑜨 𑜒𑜦𑜡 𑜃𑜣 for Kuranganayani as I did find in some books .
Anyway , I may be wrong .
Thank you !
