You are part right. Add more some of Thai words borrow for the languages you mentioned, however for the Thai as a whole language, not just some words, according to linguistic there are many language family in TH, yet the most previal and official is in Tai-Kadai family. (Tai, not Thai with H) Tai is an ethnics spread across southeastern part of Asia -- from southen CH to TH, LA, Part of VN, MM (Shan) to IN (Tai-Ahom, Tai-khamti, etc.) They all speak in Tai-Kadai family. So Thai language is very close to Zhuang ethnic (a biggest minority group in CH). There are tons of researches even vids on YT. Just one sample which is very good but sadly it has no Entg sub: for any who understand Thai, Copy and search on YT for "ไทไทย : เธอ เขา เรา ใคร สำรวจคนไทยในแผ่นดิน" You can easily see they can understand other Tai in different countries from that vid. In fcat, about a year ago there is a vid by Zhuang who traveled to TH and bought some fruits using their own langauge. The seller could easily understand them as well. The vid was widely discussed by people who interested in langauges both in CH nad TH. Search for your own if needed.
Thai borrowed words from middle Chinese, but they also borrowed words from modern Chinese(the last 100 years) such as Teochew, Hakka and Cantonese. And to be clear, Thai people came from Southern China but Thais are not Chinese people. The languages are genetically different. Southern China was populated by speakers many Tai/ Kra-Dai languages. But much of that Tai population either assimilated into Chinese society or migrated to other lands (e.g. modern Thailand and Laos).
Thai has two period of Chinese borrowing. One from Middle Chinese when the language family was spoken in Southern China, and the other from Overseas chinese in Late Ayutthaya and Bangkok period, primarily Teochew and Hakka in the modern era.
Thai is like a Half Sansakrit Half Chinese. Example, the word for number 3 in Thai is S̄ām (สาม) while in Chinese is Sān (三) or Tri (ไตร - ตรี) in Sansakrit.
The Thai people originated from China thousands of years ago. A quick Google and you would’ve found their ancestors the Zhuang people. If you take Thai and remove the Sanskrit and borrow words from Indian merchants and Khamer and Mon you would get the Zhuang language.
@@zeitgeistx5239 interesting, so Zhuang people and Han Chinese are related, while Zhuang people having the same ancestors with Thai/Dai people. Sino-Tibetan language family is indeed close to Kra-Dai language family

We also have the word "tào hủ" or "tàu phớ" coming from Teochew which is really similar to Thai but it means a slightly different thing 2:26 包子 "bánh bao" 餅包 in Vietnamese, and in Vietnamese, it is similar to Chinese, the stuffed buns is called "bánh bao" 餅包 and the non-stuffed bun is called "màn thầu" 饅頭 3:03 要 "muốn" is the most common verb to mean "to want" in Vietnamese, but we also have the word "yếu" or "yêu", the Sino Vietnamese word coming from 要 like in "nhu yếu" 需要 (necessary), and "yêu cầu" 要求 (to request, or to ask for sth) 3:14 鞍 "yên" in Vietnamese, 鞍 in Vietnamese has two Sinitic reading, which are "an" and "yên", and "yên" is one of them.

According to historical linguistics, around 50% of native Tai vocabulary is derived from Old Chinese and Middle Chinese. That’s why Tai languages sound more like Yue Chinese (e.g. Cantonese) and Sino-Vietnamese. For example, archaic Thai has two parallel numerals: Old Chinese - Middle Chinese 1 et - aai 2 saung - yii 3 saam - saam 4 sii - sai 5 haa - ngua 6 hok - lok It’s thought that Tai peoples wrote in Chinese-based writing system and learnt writing technology from Han prior to arrival in Southeast Asia because there’re many vocabulary related to books and writing: Book: 書 = sue Name: 字 = chue Paper: 紙 = chia (Northern dialect) Pencil: 筆 = pit (Northern dialect) Dot, To write: 點 = taem Ink: 墨 = muek These words are considered as native Tai words but actually Sino-Tai words. That means Tai people know how to write and produce paper before knowing Indic scripts from India. Zhuang people in Guangxi and Tay people in Vietnam still use Chinese-based writing system similar to Vietnamese Chu Nom.
yeah at very deep and native level there's a ton of old chinese and middle chinese influence like แถน for example comes from 天 instead of indic svarga that is used in modern times

From what I know, Cantonese is also influenced by Zhuang 壯語, which is a Tai language. e.g. Squat in Standard Chinese is 蹲, and in Cantonese is 踎 (mau1 mɐu˥), which sounds similar to the translation to Thai in Google Translate. Other Zhuang loan words: (Standard Chinese) (English) (Cantonese) (Jyutping sound transcription) (IPA) - 市 market 墟 heoi1 hɵy˥ - 搖 shake (don't know) ngou4 ŋou˨˩ - 爛熟 tender (don't know) nam4 nɐm˨˩ - 全部 all (晒) saai3 saːi˧
Emigration from Yunnan was long ago (influenced the vocabulary of early Thai), whereas 下南洋 was more recent. Today many modern Thai words with Chinese origin came from Teochew dialect, and the emigration mostly came from Guangdong and Fujian!
modern thailand is made of migrating tai tribe mixing with austroasiatic inhabitants of mon and khmer, you can see in the far north where there is no austroasiatic admixture they look similar to southern chinese
Migration route is likely Guangdong ~ Guangxi ~ Northern Vietnam ~ Northern Laos ~ Central Thailand. Tai-Lue and related Shan groups are likely from the Yunnan route.
Charcoal is "thaan" (ถ่าน) in Thai and "tan" (炭) in Chinese. To ride (horse, motorcycle) is "khii" (ขี่) in Thai and "qi" (騎) in Chinese. Pliers are "khiim" (คีม) in Thai and "qian" (鉗) in Chinese.
Fun fact: Pond is wearing the infantry shirt. From the looks of him and the length of the hair. He is already discharged from the Military as he ended the service. Yes, National Service is a must do in all Thai men. But it’s more like if you’re going to win a lottery or not. But you can signed up and have less duration of services. From the style of the shirt, looks like he might discharged the same year as I do.
包子 in Thai is ซาลาเปา salabao borrow from Cantonese Chinese 叉燒包 Sha shiu bao 饅頭 in Thai nowday just call หมั่นโถว mantou like Mandarin Chinese ขนมปัง Khanom pang is Normally call a Bread from Westerner like Toast , Banquette
Thai has some interesting loanwords from Chinese money and commerce: ngeen which means "money" in Thai is so obviously from ngun in Cantonese (and similar pronunciations in Teochiew and Hakka) which means 银"silver" which was used for many centuries as currency in East Asia. The numbers 3,4,6,7,8,9.10,11,20, 21...in Thai are also obvious derived from Chinese dialect numbers. The word for a shopping center or "Hong" is taken from 行 "Hong" as well.
Actually there is an distinction to octopus and squid in thai but it's more specific we say หมึกยักษ์ for octopus and หมึกกล้วย for squid but people just say หมึก or ปลาหมึก to keep it simple

I think kinh and tai share similar genetics. but differ in prestige culture thais looked to khmer while viet looked to china that is why there is a stark difference in vocabulary, vietnam high vocabulary is chinese influenced. But it is curious that vietnamese developed tones while it's austroasiatic brothers mon and khmer were non tonal.
The more fun fact is, in the past, Chao Praya river was called just "Mae nam" too. It hadn't been named until the mid of 18th century. The name was assumed that it was from the estuary of the river back then where was in Bang Chao Praya.
Southern china was used to be Austroasiatic before Tai, Hmong, and Chinese expansion that displaced them. Original Austroasiatic haplogroups are very North East Asian origins such as N, C2-M117, and Q-N120 but nowadays most Austroasiatic groups are 20% to 60% mixed with Dravidians and Hoabinhians
There is a fact which I’m not sure about trust of the story regarding the origin of Chaopraya river in Chinese language. In the old day, there was only a river known to people in central Thai back in the Ayutthaya period, so people didn’t call it ‘Chaopraya River’ but they just called it ‘mea-nam’ which translated as ‘river’. The Chinese people came to trade and heard the Thai called the river as ‘mae-nam’, they thought it was the name of the river, so they then call in Chinese as ‘Méi-nán-hé‘. ‘Chaopraya’ came from the name of area around the delta called ‘Bang-chaopraya’ (บางเจ้าพระยา) which ‘Bang’ (บาง) means the area with water. Additionally, Thai people have a word for the bun without stuffing called ‘หมั่นโถว’ which I guess the pronunciation would similar to the sound of ‘mǎn-tóu’.
SEA countries have a lot of old Chinese words and middle Chinese words. Modern Chinese not really appeared, Only modern Chinese from Cantonese, Hakka Hokien Teachew words appeared in Thai and other SEA languages
There are about 300 Thai words that are directly influenced by Hakka and Choazhou Chinese. And there are more that cannot be clearly explained. Bangkok, used to be dominated by Chinese community. So, Bangkok dialect is heavily influenced by Chinese. Bangkokean dialect is heavily off-key, compared to ancient dialect from the rest of the central region. Chinese influence on Thai culture is huge! We even have a half Chinese king at one point in history. The drama is so spicy.
For normal speaking, Thai, dialect Chinese ,Khmer, Laos, Thailish For Bali, Sanskrit can find in Thai people name, BKK Airport, official place …. Bla bla literature. 55 don’t believe me too much.
The Thai language must be divided into two parts: written language and spoken language. Although the written language is derived from Sanskrit, a language in the Khmer family, and a language in the Burmese family, in the spoken language, Thailand has derived its culture from original Thai-Kadai, language family Sanskrit, Chinese, Osmosiatitan family, or, in modern usage, from French and English.
Not only for the Chinese, I have seen so many European maps during the 17-19 th cenutry inscribed the name “Menam river” to this very river. Though, this is the first time I encountered the story behind this peculiar naming.😂
As a thai person, you speaking fluidly in english which inspired me so much to be better at english and i want every thai people to use you as the example or role model because in the big company i am working in right now, the executive still speaking english with thai accent and some of sentence feel like a bunch of words attach together and not the sentence which can describe the true meaning of it
I’m the Chinese one in the video and have been living in the US since early teenage years 😂 but I’ll tell Pond that his English is good. After all, he got a PhD from Caltech!
Why Thai is similar to Chinese? Because they originally come from Yunnan China. Nanzhou kingdom at one point control Yunnan, Lao, Thai, Myanmar and Vietnam

Old Chinese - Middle Chinese
1 et - aai
2 saung - yii
3 saam - saam
4 sii - sai
5 haa - ngua
6 hok - lok
It’s thought that Tai peoples wrote in Chinese-based writing system and learnt writing technology from Han prior to arrival in Southeast Asia because there’re many vocabulary related to books and writing:
Book: 書 = sue
Name: 字 = chue
Paper: 紙 = chia (Northern dialect)
Pencil: 筆 = pit (Northern dialect)
Dot, To write: 點 = taem
Ink: 墨 = muek
These words are considered as native Tai words but actually Sino-Tai words. That means Tai people know how to write and produce paper before knowing Indic scripts from India. Zhuang people in Guangxi and Tay people in Vietnam still use Chinese-based writing system similar to Vietnamese Chu Nom.

Chinese and Thai belong to same language family, of course there are a lot of similarities.

There are about 300 Thai words that are directly influenced by Hakka and Choazhou Chinese. And there are more that cannot be clearly explained.
Bangkok, used to be dominated by Chinese community. So, Bangkok dialect is heavily influenced by Chinese. Bangkokean dialect is heavily off-key, compared to ancient dialect from the rest of the central region.
Chinese influence on Thai culture is huge! We even have a half Chinese king at one point in history. The drama is so spicy.
1:00 Vastly different. 😂😂
Tao Hu is similar to Teochew Languange. Even the tones are similar.

The Thai language must be divided into two parts: written language and spoken language. Although the written language is derived from Sanskrit, a language in the Khmer family, and a language in the Burmese family, in the spoken language, Thailand has derived its culture from original Thai-Kadai, language family Sanskrit, Chinese, Osmosiatitan family, or, in modern usage, from French and English.

Not only for the Chinese, I have seen so many European maps during the 17-19 th cenutry inscribed the name “Menam river” to this very river. Though, this is the first time I encountered the story behind this peculiar naming.😂
LOL I'm so glad Chinese isn't the only one
As a thai person, you speaking fluidly in english which inspired me so much to be better at english and i want every thai people to use you as the example or role model because in the big company i am working in right now, the executive still speaking english with thai accent and some of sentence feel like a bunch of words attach together and not the sentence which can describe the true meaning of it
I’m the Chinese one in the video and have been living in the US since early teenage years 😂 but I’ll tell Pond that his English is good. After all, he got a PhD from Caltech!
@ThirdCultureChinese i'm so happy that you replied my comment and i also hope to see boths of you making more videos in this channel ❤️❤️
Why Thai is similar to Chinese? Because they originally come from Yunnan China. Nanzhou kingdom at one point control Yunnan, Lao, Thai, Myanmar and Vietnam

That isn't Chinese you are speaking, it is called Putonghua. Chinese is a written language.

There is a fact which I’m not sure about trust of the story regarding the origin of Chaopraya river in Chinese language. In the old day, there was only a river known to people in central Thai back in the Ayutthaya period, so people didn’t call it ‘Chaopraya River’ but they just called it ‘mea-nam’ which translated as ‘river’. The Chinese people came to trade and heard the Thai called the river as ‘mae-nam’, they thought it was the name of the river, so they then call in Chinese as ‘Méi-nán-hé‘.
‘Chaopraya’ came from the name of area around the delta called ‘Bang-chaopraya’ (บางเจ้าพระยา) which ‘Bang’ (บาง) means the area with water.
Additionally, Thai people have a word for the bun without stuffing called ‘หมั่นโถว’ which I guess the pronunciation would similar to the sound of ‘mǎn-tóu’.
