Good one, Bahador and the participants! South east asian languages have a great influence of Sanskrit vocabulary, mainly due to the influence ancient Indian kingdoms.
As a Thai who is interested in Sanskrit influence in Thai, this video is really enjoying! I think Thai people consider Science as the highest form of knowledge. So we call Science as วิทยาศาสตร์ (Witthayasart = Vidya+Sastra). Edit: I think some people might be interested in other subjects' names. So, here some. Biology = ชีววิทยา (Cheewawitthaya = Jiva+Vidya) Astronomy = ดาราศาสตร์ (Darasart = Tara+Sastra) Engineering = วิศวกรรมศาสตร์ (Witsawakammasart = Vishwakarma+Sastra) Anthropology = มานุษยวิทยา (Manutsayawitthaya = Manusya+Vidya) Humanities = มนุษยศาสตร์ (Manutsayasart = Manusya+Sastra) Sociology = สังคมวิทยา (Sangkomwitthaya = Sangam+Vidya) Social science = สังคมศาสตร์ (Sangkomsart or Sangkommasart = Sangam+Sastra) Political science = รัฐศาสตร์ (Ratthasart = Rastra+Sastra) Art = ศิลปะ (Sinlapa=Silpa) Liberal arts = ศิลปศาสตร์ (Sinlapasart = Silpa+Sastra)
@Khalid Mumhanmud from Maharashtra It’s because the most famous stand up comedian in Thai say joke about that so some of comedians follow him but normally Thai people not blame your country about that
@@vishalprajapati5435 Thailand and Cambodia were Tai-Kadai and Austroasiatic which originated from Southern China, they were just influenced by Indian. And Tai and Khmer today are still fundamentally different from Indian who are more closely related to Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Sri Lankan, and altogether they are closer to West Asians. Mainstream Indians typically have no Mongoloid features, they are mostly Aryan and Dravidian.

As a Nepali we have very similarities with Sanskrit language and there is Sanskrit teaching in different schools in Nepal and I feel very happy to see this video🖤 Love for sankritam from Nepal 🖤
Becoz ancient Indian magadha and Kalinga kingdoms and south indian Kingdoms great relationshans with Asean countrys especially thai, Indonesia,combodia
In Thai, there is festival called "Sonkrant".....which is nothing but "Sankrant" celebrated in India, and in both countries it is celebrated in same month/same time. It's really amazing......as in India we have concept of "वसुधैव कुटुंबकम्".... means "one world family"...... n this is classic example of this concept.
Hey we got Shongkranti (সংক্রান্তি) in Bangladesh here for the same thing i suppose, or at least the Poush Shongkranti (পৌষ সংক্রান্তি). The day is also called Shakrain (সাকরাইন), idk why is that though.
In Thai school system, secondary school I guess, we do have a brief lesson about Thai words derived from Sanskrit. It's necessary especially when you want to understand traditional Thai literature. Also, Thai people love using Sanskrit to create a beautiful name for a person or a place. It's like a more aesthetic level of language. I would really like to take a Sanskrit course right after watching this video! 5555
Thai language was our ancestors language in Assam(India) ,as from a ahom community still we have few people who can speak Thai language,few years before Thai queen or princess visit in assam to meet the people of ahom ,ahom is the biggest Assamese community in Assam
The Lao language from Laos is ancestor of the Thai Language. The Thai language is 80% Lao mix with 20% Khmer from Cambodia. UA-cam Lao in India. A Lao man went to go visit The Tai Khamti in Assam and they communicated no problem. Lao people also call themselves Tai.
Assamese is an oldest TAI tribe. TAI is not THAI but THAI is TAI. TAI means unique one who speaks and understand in same one language nevertherest you are Lao, Tai, Thai, Siamese or else.
@Diganta Gogoi, you are referring to Princess Sirindhorn though. For the case of ahom and assam, it is the late Ajarn Bunjob Phanthumetha who had been to that area which mentioned in her book "Kale Mantai" (Going to Tai house)
Sanskrit is connected so many languages. It's intresting to see how words from sanskrit are taken into various languages and how the pronounciation changes.
As a telugu speaker I understand all sanskrit words. Sanskrit is deeply rooted in Telugu. These similarities between South East Asian and indian languages reminds me AKHAND BHARAT 😁
Telugu is one of the sweetest and classical languages of India. Although Telugu belongs to a different language group than Sanskrt, Telugu has lots of Sanskrt vocab and the pronunciation of Sanskrt is also done correctly in Telugu unlike other Dravidian languages where they change a lot.
@@DipanjanPaul Well except for the ऋ (which is pronounced as "ru"), श (which is pronounced as "s"), ष (which is pronounced as "ś", how श is supposed to be pronounced), and ण (which is pronounced as "n"). Also, Telugu speakers usually voice medial unvoiced consonants that shouldn't be voiced (e.g., they pronounce कथा as कधा). So not really done correctly at all.
That's an interesting connection! You have traced almost all the words! Piphop is probably =Prithwi in Sanskrit (?) ...Thai and Khmer words also sound pretty close..

I am from Bangkok. Since I studied basic Hindi in Agra almost 20 years ago, I can say Thai language use many exactly same words from Sanskrit and Pali, but when we say those words, Indians almost completely couldn't understand that words because the way to pronounce. Even we use the same alphabet system but the way we pronounce in many single alphabet are different.
Yes because your pronunciation seems to be influenced from / derived from south india. That's why a Hindi speakers also don't understand Tamil same word.
I am a Thai who lived in India for a few years. The influence Thai has taken from Sanskrit really blew my mind as a highschooler studying there. I regret not being able to study it properly back then. Having studied more Thai extensively, i have come to understand so much more than I used to. Now, in this video, i hear the words and instantly knew the meanings and could even catch glimpses of the roots that form the word and the omission of sounds with “karand” Wow... that’s... crazy.
Hello Thai and India! We're friends🇮🇳🇹🇭🇮🇩 In indonesian,these are similar words (bcause Sanskrit derived): *loka* = world/earth ,but you find it only in literary *chandra* = moon, in literary.. also a common male Indonesian name regardless his ethnicity/religion *pendeta* = religious leader/preacher *bahasa* = language *widya* = knowledge, also u find it only in literary *swarna* = gold, like in *swarnadwipa* is title for Sumatera island means gold island if i'm not mistaken, Thai participant name Thana.. it cognates with *dana* in Indonesian means _fund_ . while she said it means _treasure_ in Thai(same basic concept), it comes from Sanskrit i think? 💝this video, a new language featured here.. Thai💞 well done Bahador🙏
@@insfiredgirl as same pattern, i can also recognize my thai friend name _Weerayuth_ is cognate with indonesian name _Wirayudha_ means a brave warrior, something like that.. it Sanskrit derived name i think
This is fun. I learned Sanskrit as optional course as a university student studying Latin and Greek, as Sanksrit(as well as Hittite) is needed to understand the historical linguistics of our Indo-European languages. Having learned the script I got interested in Thai and now live in Thailand.
This is why sanskrit is called mother of languages bro🤗🤗👍 it's also the most compatible language for computer programming!!! As studied by german analysts !! And there r numberless sanskrit research centres in germany....bhagwat gita written in sanskrit is also a Greatest text worth reading 😍😍👍
@Karthick Jayaraman Who told you Sanskrit is dead.. And why the hate bro? We should respect Every Language.. I watch tamil movie in tamil.. My mother tongue is Odia..
@Karthick Jayaraman In west bengal we never study Hindi in our school life but sanskrit is mandatory for class 7 and 8. Why hate bro?? We love tami, telagu, marathi even my mother tongue is bengal. I know tamil is very very old language brother.. Politicians create this hate, if I am speaking tamil or hindi or marathi its not mean that I forgot my mother tongue or disrespect my mother tongue. We have to love each other.
I’m Cambodian, Me and my Thai friends love sharing, learning and discussing about the language. Even my first name also has the same meaning in both languages.
I love this program. I am a Thai Language instructor and I am very interested Sanskrit! Most Thai people do not realize that we have so many Sanskrit words in our language.
I am Sri Lankan and I speak Sinhalese and I understood like 99% of this. It would be great if you could have a sinhala language video too. At some point. (Fingers crossed 🤞🏽)

As a thai who has spent some time studying thai linguistics, I'd like to point out some interesting things. First, most of the words borrowed from sanskrit were shortened so that they would be easier to articulate and sound more natural as thai language is an isolating language-the original thai words are quite short, usually only one- or two-syllable long). For example, the word चन्द्र (chandra) in thai is จันทร์ which is pronounced /tɕan/. The part that makes up the sound of this word is only จัน; the extra ทร is added so that people can trace back to the original word in sanskrit (we transliterate द as ท and र as ร). The symbol "์" here tells people that the ทร will not be pronounced so people pronounce it /tɕan/ not /tɕan.tʰa.ra/. Note that there also exists the word จันทรา /tɕan.tʰra/ in thai which means the moon just like จันทร์, but จันทรา is only used in literature or poem, not an everyday word. Moreover, thai people didn't always borrow words directly from sanskrit; most of the time thai people borrowed sanskrit words through khmer language which was greatly influenced by sanskrit and pali. The problem lies in this; in khom script, the /d/ and /t/ sounds share the same letter and so do the /b/ and /p/ sounds. Hence, in certain words of sanskrit origin, the /t/ sound becomes /d/ and /p/ becomes /b/. The example is the word सप्ताह (saptāha) which is transliterated as สัปดาห์ (/sap̚.daː/). We also have the word สัปต- (/sap̚.ta/) in thai which means seven but this word is considered old-fashioned. There's also another pair which is /w/ and /pʰ/ but the situation is a bit different. In some words, we can use either /w/ or /pʰ/ with the meaning unchanged (e.g., both วายุ (/waː.ju/) and พายุ (/pʰaː.ju/) mean "storm", from sanskrit वायु). Nonetheless, the meanings of some words change entirely with only replacement of /w/ with /pʰ/ or vice versa; for example, ประเพณี (/pra.pʰeː.niː) means "tradition" while ประเวณี (/pra.weː.niː) means "sexual intercourse" (both from sanskrit प्रवेणी). I hope you guys enjoy these interesting features of thai language.
Omg you are exactly the type of person I was looking for. I'm writing a thesis for my degree on a comparative analysis of the Thai vocab and a few other languages and I was wondering if you might have some insight on some articles or websites in English (sadly I don't speak Thai yet, it's a very recent project and I'm kind of a masochist when it comes to projects) that I could use, or some info on languages that share roots in words with Thai. I am currently researching vocab from Sanskrit, Pali and Khmer as the base, but I'm looking for other languages that might have some common words, like possibly Chinese, Lao or Vietnamese to some extent

However, we commonly use another counting which is mixed up from several languages. 1 หนึ่ง neung, 2 สอง song 3 สาม sam < like chinese 4 สี่ si < like chinese 5 ห้า ha ,....
It's not about being lazy. For Thai speakers, many Sanskrit words do not sound good in our language if we just use them the way they are. Most of Sanskrit words end with the -a sound which may be too redundant. That's why we omit most of the -a sound at the end of Sanskrit words. When the -a sound is silent, Sanskrit words can sound more natural when mixed with Thai. For example the word 'Chandara' does not sound like a Thai word and it is difficult to say. When we remove the -a sounds, it sounds much more natural with the way we speak our language. Therefore, Chandara becomes Chan(dr). We keep the 'dr' or 'tr' so that we can trace back to the root.
I shared this video with my cousin (a Kashmiri Hindu) who did his schooling from nursery to 10th standard in Thailand; speaks Thai fluently,. Also speaks Marathi fluently, in addition to Kashmiri and Hindi, but knows very little about Sanskrit. I am sure he will be surprised.

Thank you so so much!! I am a Thai and grew up in Australia and I have always enjoyed making connections with Thai & Sanskrit then I would ask my friends from India to guess the words too :-) Normally, the Sanskrit used in Thai is very meaningful/official/proper but what I am picking up is also how English is currently being used within Thai sentences as well in this era (most current influenced language). Thai words are almost influenced by multiple languages over centuries from Sanskrit, Chinese and now English. Although in say this, Sanskrit is the most influenced which is really the foundation of official Thai. Thank you again for sharing this session. I loved it :)

"Pandita" in Thai also means a learned person or a scholar. The meaning of this word as "a graduate" (no, it does not mean "student" as the lady said in the video) came in use recently because in Thai we name a diploma with a suffix of -pandita. Bachelor of Science, for example, is called "Vidayasatra Pandita". (In a way a graduate is a learned person, isn't it?) The original meaning as a scholar can be found everywhere. Members of The Thai Royal Academy where well-respected scholars in their fields were selected by their peers are called "Raja Pandita".
@@Shriya-pp1vw Coming later or not is irrelevant. Thai language adopted many of these loan words from Pali and Sanskrit through Buddhist texts. In this context, it is import to talk about Pali.

That 'Jan' guess by the Sanskrit guy was brilliant one...he used the variation in the Thai dialect and guessed it correctly when the pronunciation was altogether different.

I'm odia, it's a sanskrit originated language in eastern india. Moon in my language janha. This JANHA word derived from sankrit word chandra> chan>jan>janha. Actually many languages can relate to sanskrit.
We call the moon as 'Chandra' or 'Joon' or 'Joonbai' in Assamese ( Eastern Indo-Aryan language of India ) . I know that Chandra is directly taken from it's mother language Sanskrit but I always wondered about 'Joon' . And its closer form 'Jan' made it all clear . NE India is closer to the ASEAN as well .
You translated it incorrectly. Correct translation: pranpriya: pran=life, priya= lovely/dear.... basically pranpriya is a romantic word which if you say to someone, means you love them more than your life. Also, I have seen Girl from Nowhere and the girl Nanno, Chicha Amatyakul, has her surname in sanskrit. Amatya= minister, kul= family/lineage. so her ancestors were ministers in the king's court according to her surname

Beautiful video. A few additional points to make: 1. Saptah 'week' in Sanskrit is cognate with the Persian hafta, both coming from the word for 'seven'. The Persian word exhibits the Iranian sound changes of Proto-Indo-Iranian *s to *h and of *p to *f. 2. The English word 'pundit' comes from the Sanskrit panditah. 3. Interesting to note the parallelism in the semantic shift from 'knowledge' to 'science' here: the word 'science' and its equivalents in other western European languages comes from the Latin scientia, which means 'knowledge', but denotes natural science in the modern age, same as the Sanskrit vidya which has come to mean 'science' in Thai. 4. The Chinese word for university, 大学 (daxue), is a Sanskrit calque: da 'big, great' (=maha) xue 'learning, knowledge' (vidya), the only difference being that the Chinese word does not include the Sanskrit suffix -laya 'place where an activity is realised'. 5. On maha 'great' is cognate with the Greek μεγας (megas), which is used as a prefix in many compound words in modern western European languages.
In Polish language we have the word 'wiedza' meaning knowledge. Obviously, it's very closely related to 'vidya'. This word is used in most of the Slavic languages in similar forms, also our word for Saturday - 'Sobota' is very similar to 'Saptah'.
I’m Indonesian and it’s funny that all the words are familiar to me but some words I understand like pandita (in Indo: pendeta), bhasha (in Indo: Bahasa) and some words I dont understand coz we use the words for people’s name such as Vidyah (Widya), Chandra (Candra), Loka (Loka), those words are barely used in Indo (only in poem coz it’s ancient Indonesian)

Malay and Indonesian is heavily influenced by Sanskrit. Examples of Indonesian words which are from Sanskrit: panca, dharma, bakti, Budi, purnama, surya, putra, putri, kartika, pura, gapura, negara (from sanskrit: nagari), perdana ("pradhaan"), jaya, guru, mahasiswa, purnama, and so many more
@@hafiz8184 dutch has only influenced Indonesian after the 17th century. But through the evolution of malay language since the 7th century, sanskrit has affected a huge degree to bahasa indonesia/melayu.
It's worth pointing out that the "Bali" language, which she refers to a few times, is written and pronounced Pali in English. It has nothing to do with the Indonesian island Bali. In Thai both words (Pali and Bali) are pronounced with initial B sounds, but have different tones and are spelled differently. Pali is a Middle Indo-Aryan liturgical language native to the Indian subcontinent. It died out as a literary language in mainland India in the fourteenth century but survived elsewhere until the eighteenth. Today Pali is studied mainly to gain access to Buddhist scriptures, and is frequently chanted in a ritual context in the Southern Buddhist nations of Southeast Asia (including Thailand) and in Sri Lanka. Thai has borrowed many words from both Pali and Sanskrit: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_loanwords_in_Thai
To add a different perspective, my mother tongue is Tamizh and this perspective is from that point of view. Given that Thailand was ruled by Chozha kings, there was a heavy influence of the Tamizh language and culture on Thailand. Thai in Tamizh means mother and hence the name for Thailand. Now in Tamizh the consonants are only one for each of the four consonants in Samskrutam. For eg., the ka varga in Samskrutam is Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha and in Tamizh it is only one Ka. So maybe it explains the fact which was analyzed that excepting the first consonant syllable, the rest were almost pronounced the same. Then again, ancient Tamizh and Samskrutam were almost similar in their vocabulary. Hence the analogy that when she referred to Bali as Pali, it could be due to this cultural factor. Thanks.
@@balaji0786 The Chola Empire did not rule Thailand, however it did occupy the region briefly. The Chola Empire didn't set up any administrative units in South East Asia. However, many Tamil Chola princes became ministers in South East Asian courts like that of the Srivijaya and Khmer Empires. And Tamil merchants and priests did settle in South East Asia for centuries so thats where the main Tamil influence comes from. However, I would definitely say that the merchants and ministers in Bengal, Odisha and Magadha had more influence or South East Asia, and specifically Thailand, than Tamil Nadu or Andhra Pradesh. The aforementioned regions also had an extensive maritime and naval history in the Bay of Bengal too with Bengali Empires like the Pala Dynasty and Bengal Sultanate even incorporating portions of Myanmar into their core territories.

Pandita is also in Malay and Indonesian as the word 'Pendeta'. It means scholar or priest as well. Also I'm not sure if its related, but the Satta might be related to the word 'Setia' in Bahasa.
@@katta.sudharshanreddy8490 when you mention Tamil.. you also should mention whether it's old Tamil or modern Tamil... Old Tamil not so influenced by Sanskrit but modern Tamil does...
About the word "saptaha" that means week, in Thai, we pronounce sapda but, in terms of writing, we have the letter "H" at the end of the word of sapda (it looks like "sapdah"). But we don't pronounce the H sound. So it makes sense to me why we need to put H at the end of that word.
In India, mostly people pronounce it as 'sapta' in general conversations. That 'ah' at the end is used in Sanskrit only so obviously when speaking hindi it's a lil difficult to add 'h' sound so we just skip it.
No in sanskrit words end with 'a' sound but in hindi no 'a' sound. In kannada we have 'a' sound like sanskrit. Kannada is more similar to sanskrit than to tamil
@@poojan423 Kannada might be similar to Sanskrit. But in Sanskrit it ends with 'ah' sound, which in Hindi is 'अ:' sound. And I've studied Sanskrit for 5 years so ik what I'm talking about.
@@poojan423 you must've heard priests reciting mantras. Notice how their words end with 'ah' sound e.g swaha, bhuvah (these words are in Gayatri mantra so i assume it won't be hard for you to understand)
Being in the Indochina peninsula, Thailand inherits the language mainly from two roots (apart from borrowing some more from all her neighbours), Indian root (Pali and Sanskrit) and Tai root (Indigenous root widely used along the Mekhong river from lower China down to the Chao Praya River basin, gulf of Thailand). The indigenous root gives rise to simple single syllable word with tones and simple combination rules to make more vocabularies like พ่อ แม่ น้ำ ใจ ดี หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ ห้า. This is mainly used for daily lives for Thai layer people. This feature is Sino-Tibetan and shares tonal language features like Chinese. Whereas Pali and Sanskrit inherits into Thai classical scholar/religious/literature and technical arena particularly in the Royal court of the dynasties of the Kingdom of Thailand for over a thousand years. Vedic civilization in the north-western of the Indian subcontinent, along the Sindhu-Surasvati, rivers basin which, probably around 10,000-2000 years ago was prosperous with mathematics, linguistic, cosmology plus astrology, philosophy and etc. Sanskrit came into the Indochina peninsula with Hinduism and trade. Pali followed with Buddhism around BE 300 after Asokha the Great sent the missionary out. 800 years ago, Sukhothai Kingdom adopted Buddhism and Pali through Sri Lanka. Since Buddhism temples were the main educational institutes for Thai, Pali consonants and their sounds are the roots of 44 Thai consonants. Eventually, most Thai consonants are based upon Pali and Sanskrit consonants with some modification. Certain consonant sounds have been simplified but lots of traits remain such as zero = soon ya = สุญญ, สูญ = ศูนย์ = empty. It is the unique mathematical concept originated in India before other civilizations. Ancient Egypt, Babylonian, Ancient Greek and Roman had some difficulties with Math because the lack of "Zero". Similarly, infinity = ananta = อนันต์ or probably อสงไขย = incalculable = uncountable = asongkaya is the mathematical concept originated in Vedic civilization. So, Sanskrit plays very vital role in Thai language for elites. Most if not all of holy/sacred vocabularies to be used in Thai-Hinduism and for the Royal family are Sanskrit. "Swasdee สวัสดี" recently adopted into contemporary Thai, meaning "good luck", also comes from Sanskrit. Most of Thai technological vocabularies are Sanskrit whereas most of Theravadh Buddhism remains with Pali. The names of the 7 days, 12 months, planets (except Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) and constellations are in Sanskrit such as Chandra = จันทร์ = Monday = moon, Singhakom = สิงหาคม = Coming of the Lion = August. There are evidences that Sanskrit may share the root with Indo-European language. There are similarities with Latin such as one= "a" = uni= eka = เอก , two = duo = โท to, three = tri = ไตร, four = quadra = tetra = จัตวา jatawa, five = penta = เบญจ ปัญจ, ten = deca = ทศ dosa, hundred = cent = ศต = sata. By the way, most of the names of 76 provinces in Thailand are from Sanskrit. The longest and official name of Bangkok is a rhyme in Sanskrit. ua-cam.com/video/S75pY8w9J10/v-deo.html Plus some of the names ended with "Buri บุรี" means city or town is equivalent to "burrough" like Scarburough, Peterburough. It means a mound. Peter means Father / บิดร บิดา / pe tra)
You are correct eg. Petrous, Petrol. However, with similar sounds like Paternal, Patriotic, I wonder there could be overlap of the sounds as languages evolve.
Sanskrit is the mother words of the Thai language, it can be seen in royal words and poetry, even though all significant names are derived from Sanskrit. Thank you so much for beautiful clip
In the Hindi/Indonesian video we made before I only used Sanskrit-derived words, but we can definitely do a Sanskrit/Indonesian video in the future! Here is the link to that one: ua-cam.com/video/ZMBGD1a5fGw/v-deo.html
Can you do one for Maldives? 🇲🇻 It'll be amazing if you do one for my language because it's not very common for people to mention us. Our language Dhivehi also has sanskrit roots. The closest language to ours is Sinhala (Sri Lankan) a sister language that is mostly closest to ours that branched off the same common ancestor, so i hope you do one for both of the languages and their similarities one day! It will mean so much ❤ Also, the word "Vela" is also time in Dhivehi lol depending on the dialects because most dialects can be distant from the rest, all the while some are pretty close to sanskrit branch or to the sister language Sinhala. It's really interesting so i am hoping you'll do a video on that, maybe get some who speaks different dialects at the same time and see the differences between both Dhivehi and Sinhala.
Sinhala and Dhivehi are derived from Sanskrit both are Indo Aryan Languages. Both are also influenced by Dravidian Languages due to close contact with them. Even Marathi is influenced by Dravidian Languages
Sanskrit influenced lots of modern languages spoken in southeast asia today, I was really happy to watch this episode because I also learned a lot similarities between Sanskrit and Thai. I’ve also been comparing and finding similarities between my native languages (Javanese and Indonesian) to Sanskrit and they have lots in common too, even my middle and family name are from Sanskrit origins... I recommend do Javanese/Balinese and Sanskrit next episode!!
I must say, Indonesia, Malaysia ,Thailand, Java and Sumatra languages have brought a lot from the odia language , the official language of state of Odisha of India. As there is a odia legend that, ancient odia traders were used to voyage to southeast Asian countries with their ships for trading and eventually lot of cultural and linguistic aspects were went down to those countries. Example is in Thai the moon is called Jan, in odia it's actually Janha, ha in the end. And both the countries celebrate same kinda festival on kartik purnima. And in those countries , people from India are called keling, which is derived from Kalinga, the ancient name for the state of Odisha. I hope there would be more similarities I'm odia language and southeast Asian languages. Thanks.
This is a very interesting video. It's amazing that there are many people interested in Thai language. Just a remark here: I think (บัณฑิต) Pandit is more likely a graduate (not student) though. (I'm sure about this bc I am a graduate). วิทยา (wittaya) means knowledge and it's not specifically used with science at all, while วิทยาลัย (wittayalai) means college or school (for example the renown school in Bangkok: Assumption College, St. Gabriel's College) I am not a linguist but from basic Thai I use in daily life, it's supposed be like this. But the rest she mentioned is more or less correct. Thank you for making this video it's very informative.
I have really enjoyed comparing Sanskrit with other language videos. The last sessions were very interesting. I hope you could do those last parts about places, alphabets very often.
@@Tiaimo bhumi putra = sanskrit = son of soil . Pur = city. Singhpur/ Singapore = land of lion in sanskrit. Ayuthaya = ayodhya ie where wars can't happen or shouldn't be fought. Your language is precious because it originated from most ancient language ie sanskrit. Never loose it.

😲😲😲 good Video 👍 I'm Malaysian Chinese, now learning Thai Language, I'm always have a big questions why Thai have 44 alphabet and always have ์ to add on some alphabet but without pronounce it. after watched this video, i finally understood why Thai language so complicated, very impressed me, good Video 👍☺️
The Rajabundit, The Thai Royal Institute, uses Preserved Form System in spelling definition. Even for the word from malayo-polynesian, there is a specific characteristic and if you read the Thai work that came from Arabic you might wondering, How we can survive in this complex language. Most Thai didn't do well in Thai language class.
Most awaited video and what a ton load of knowledge. Thank you Bahador 🙏 Having visited Kanchanaburi, Chonburi and ofcourse arriving at Suvarnabhumi, surely makes much sense now. Similarly, Sukhothai in Northern Thailand means Sukh Udaya. Buriram, I presume should mean Rampuri or in modern day hindi it will be Rampur. Thank you again. Also, the way the Thai participant pronounced the consonants, Assamese pronounce it the exact same manner with a lot of emphasis on the sound 'o' unlike Hindi/sanskrit 'a'. As a Tai myself from Assam, India, we share numerous common factors with our Thai counterpart including words of everyday usage and the number system.
False narrative ,Sanskrit is a sister language not mother language in Indo Iranian family ,Tamil is older and its derivative Dravidian languages are not connected to Sanskrit.
Yes! Along with the “graduated student” definition as mentioned, บัณฑิต (pandita) also has another meaning in Buddhism as opposed to คนพาล (or พาล pala). It means a person filled with the righteous knowledge, a bit like a philosopher, who deserves to be taken as example. The latter meaning people with bad behavior, who should be avoided. I really enjoyed this video thank you for posting it, I loved it from a Thai’s perspective. Sanskrit is magnificent ♥️
Beautifully done, all three of you. Salil, I loved your explanation of the alphabet and pronunciations. Your love for everything Thai really showed.

I think Thai people consider Science as the highest form of knowledge. So we call Science as วิทยาศาสตร์ (Witthayasart = Vidya+Sastra).
Edit: I think some people might be interested in other subjects' names. So, here some.
Biology = ชีววิทยา (Cheewawitthaya = Jiva+Vidya)
Astronomy = ดาราศาสตร์ (Darasart = Tara+Sastra)
Engineering = วิศวกรรมศาสตร์ (Witsawakammasart = Vishwakarma+Sastra)
Anthropology = มานุษยวิทยา (Manutsayawitthaya = Manusya+Vidya)
Humanities = มนุษยศาสตร์ (Manutsayasart = Manusya+Sastra)
Sociology = สังคมวิทยา (Sangkomwitthaya = Sangam+Vidya)
Social science = สังคมศาสตร์ (Sangkomsart or Sangkommasart = Sangam+Sastra)
Political science = รัฐศาสตร์ (Ratthasart = Rastra+Sastra)
Art = ศิลปะ (Sinlapa=Silpa)
Liberal arts = ศิลปศาสตร์ (Sinlapasart = Silpa+Sastra)

Telugu is one of the sweetest and classical languages of India. Although Telugu belongs to a different language group than Sanskrt, Telugu has lots of Sanskrt vocab and the pronunciation of Sanskrt is also done correctly in Telugu unlike other Dravidian languages where they change a lot.
@@DipanjanPaul Well except for the ऋ (which is pronounced as "ru"), श (which is pronounced as "s"), ष (which is pronounced as "ś", how श is supposed to be pronounced), and ण (which is pronounced as "n").

As a thai who has spent some time studying thai linguistics, I'd like to point out some interesting things. First, most of the words borrowed from sanskrit were shortened so that they would be easier to articulate and sound more natural as thai language is an isolating language-the original thai words are quite short, usually only one- or two-syllable long). For example, the word चन्द्र (chandra) in thai is จันทร์ which is pronounced /tɕan/. The part that makes up the sound of this word is only จัน; the extra ทร is added so that people can trace back to the original word in sanskrit (we transliterate द as ท and र as ร). The symbol "์" here tells people that the ทร will not be pronounced so people pronounce it /tɕan/ not /tɕan.tʰa.ra/. Note that there also exists the word จันทรา /tɕan.tʰra/ in thai which means the moon just like จันทร์, but จันทรา is only used in literature or poem, not an everyday word. Moreover, thai people didn't always borrow words directly from sanskrit; most of the time thai people borrowed sanskrit words through khmer language which was greatly influenced by sanskrit and pali. The problem lies in this; in khom script, the /d/ and /t/ sounds share the same letter and so do the /b/ and /p/ sounds. Hence, in certain words of sanskrit origin, the /t/ sound becomes /d/ and /p/ becomes /b/. The example is the word सप्ताह (saptāha) which is transliterated as สัปดาห์ (/sap̚.daː/). We also have the word สัปต- (/sap̚.ta/) in thai which means seven but this word is considered old-fashioned. There's also another pair which is /w/ and /pʰ/ but the situation is a bit different. In some words, we can use either /w/ or /pʰ/ with the meaning unchanged (e.g., both วายุ (/waː.ju/) and พายุ (/pʰaː.ju/) mean "storm", from sanskrit वायु). Nonetheless, the meanings of some words change entirely with only replacement of /w/ with /pʰ/ or vice versa; for example, ประเพณี (/pra.pʰeː.niː) means "tradition" while ประเวณี (/pra.weː.niː) means "sexual intercourse" (both from sanskrit प्रवेणी). I hope you guys enjoy these interesting features of thai language.
Omg you are exactly the type of person I was looking for. I'm writing a thesis for my degree on a comparative analysis of the Thai vocab and a few other languages and I was wondering if you might have some insight on some articles or websites in English (sadly I don't speak Thai yet, it's a very recent project and I'm kind of a masochist when it comes to projects) that I could use, or some info on languages that share roots in words with Thai. I am currently researching vocab from Sanskrit, Pali and Khmer as the base, but I'm looking for other languages that might have some common words, like possibly Chinese, Lao or Vietnamese to some extent

It's not about being lazy. For Thai speakers, many Sanskrit words do not sound good in our language if we just use them the way they are. Most of Sanskrit words end with the -a sound which may be too redundant. That's why we omit most of the -a sound at the end of Sanskrit words. When the -a sound is silent, Sanskrit words can sound more natural when mixed with Thai. For example the word 'Chandara' does not sound like a Thai word and it is difficult to say. When we remove the -a sounds, it sounds much more natural with the way we speak our language. Therefore, Chandara becomes Chan(dr). We keep the 'dr' or 'tr' so that we can trace back to the root.

"Pandita" in Thai also means a learned person or a scholar. The meaning of this word as "a graduate" (no, it does not mean "student" as the lady said in the video) came in use recently because in Thai we name a diploma with a suffix of -pandita.
Bachelor of Science, for example, is called "Vidayasatra Pandita". (In a way a graduate is a learned person, isn't it?)

Beautiful video. A few additional points to make:
1. Saptah 'week' in Sanskrit is cognate with the Persian hafta, both coming from the word for 'seven'. The Persian word exhibits the Iranian sound changes of Proto-Indo-Iranian *s to *h and of *p to *f.
2. The English word 'pundit' comes from the Sanskrit panditah.
3. Interesting to note the parallelism in the semantic shift from 'knowledge' to 'science' here: the word 'science' and its equivalents in other western European languages comes from the Latin scientia, which means 'knowledge', but denotes natural science in the modern age, same as the Sanskrit vidya which has come to mean 'science' in Thai.
4. The Chinese word for university, 大学 (daxue), is a Sanskrit calque: da 'big, great' (=maha) xue 'learning, knowledge' (vidya), the only difference being that the Chinese word does not include the Sanskrit suffix -laya 'place where an activity is realised'.
5. On maha 'great' is cognate with the Greek μεγας (megas), which is used as a prefix in many compound words in modern western European languages.

It's worth pointing out that the "Bali" language, which she refers to a few times, is written and pronounced Pali in English. It has nothing to do with the Indonesian island Bali. In Thai both words (Pali and Bali) are pronounced with initial B sounds, but have different tones and are spelled differently.
Pali is a Middle Indo-Aryan liturgical language native to the Indian subcontinent. It died out as a literary language in mainland India in the fourteenth century but survived elsewhere until the eighteenth. Today Pali is studied mainly to gain access to Buddhist scriptures, and is frequently chanted in a ritual context in the Southern Buddhist nations of Southeast Asia (including Thailand) and in Sri Lanka.
Thai has borrowed many words from both Pali and Sanskrit: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_loanwords_in_Thai
Namaste and Dhanyabaad/thx from Bharat🙏🇮🇳
Pali is บาลี while Bali is บาหลี, for people curious about the pronouciation different, you can use google translate.
To add a different perspective, my mother tongue is Tamizh and this perspective is from that point of view.
Given that Thailand was ruled by Chozha kings, there was a heavy influence of the Tamizh language and culture on Thailand. Thai in Tamizh means mother and hence the name for Thailand.
Now in Tamizh the consonants are only one for each of the four consonants in Samskrutam. For eg., the ka varga in Samskrutam is Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha and in Tamizh it is only one Ka. So maybe it explains the fact which was analyzed that excepting the first consonant syllable, the rest were almost pronounced the same.
Then again, ancient Tamizh and Samskrutam were almost similar in their vocabulary.
Hence the analogy that when she referred to Bali as Pali, it could be due to this cultural factor. Thanks.
@@balaji0786 The Chola Empire did not rule Thailand, however it did occupy the region briefly. The Chola Empire didn't set up any administrative units in South East Asia. However, many Tamil Chola princes became ministers in South East Asian courts like that of the Srivijaya and Khmer Empires. And Tamil merchants and priests did settle in South East Asia for centuries so thats where the main Tamil influence comes from. However, I would definitely say that the merchants and ministers in Bengal, Odisha and Magadha had more influence or South East Asia, and specifically Thailand, than Tamil Nadu or Andhra Pradesh. The aforementioned regions also had an extensive maritime and naval history in the Bay of Bengal too with Bengali Empires like the Pala Dynasty and Bengal Sultanate even incorporating portions of Myanmar into their core territories.

As I’m trying to learn Thai right now, I found this video very helpful and informative. Thank you Bahador and participants Tana and Salil! 🙏🏼😄
Wonderful! Didn't know that these two languages are so similar! Very well presented. Thank you so much 🙏
I'm Indian... And I see a lot of thai shows. And the NUMBER OF TIMES, I understood what they said without English subtitles... Good lord. Soo many words. It's sounds so close to home... As if I'm related in some deep way with everyone that's thai.
Nice video!
I have been learning Thai and I noticed a lot of Sanskrit words. They are not that noticable in spoken Thai, but since they are written with almost the same spelling as in Sanskrit, they are noticable.
Pandita is also in Malay and Indonesian as the word 'Pendeta'. It means scholar or priest as well. Also I'm not sure if its related, but the Satta might be related to the word 'Setia' in Bahasa.
True , in sanskrit pandit means scholar or priest 😀
In India its used for looters cause they loot people wearing the veil of faith
@Chota Pandit Pandits too
@Chota Pandit well I am Anti Religion and I have never seen a Mulla asking for money
In todays Indonesia, Pendeta is specifically for Protestant Priest. Even the Catholic prefer Pastur (padre).
Sanskrit is God's own language.
It is mother of every language.

@Soth Pole Did you read my comment?!... Where did I disrespect other language?!...
About the word "saptaha" that means week, in Thai, we pronounce sapda but, in terms of writing, we have the letter "H" at the end of the word of sapda (it looks like "sapdah"). But we don't pronounce the H sound. So it makes sense to me why we need to put H at the end of that word.
In India, mostly people pronounce it as 'sapta' in general conversations. That 'ah' at the end is used in Sanskrit only so obviously when speaking hindi it's a lil difficult to add 'h' sound so we just skip it.
No in sanskrit words end with 'a' sound but in hindi no 'a' sound. In kannada we have 'a' sound like sanskrit. Kannada is more similar to sanskrit than to tamil
@@poojan423 Kannada might be similar to Sanskrit. But in Sanskrit it ends with 'ah' sound, which in Hindi is 'अ:' sound. And I've studied Sanskrit for 5 years so ik what I'm talking about.
@@poojan423 you must've heard priests reciting mantras. Notice how their words end with 'ah' sound e.g swaha, bhuvah (these words are in Gayatri mantra so i assume it won't be hard for you to understand)

Being in the Indochina peninsula, Thailand inherits the language mainly from two roots (apart from borrowing some more from all her neighbours), Indian root (Pali and Sanskrit) and Tai root (Indigenous root widely used along the Mekhong river from lower China down to the Chao Praya River basin, gulf of Thailand). The indigenous root gives rise to simple single syllable word with tones and simple combination rules to make more vocabularies like พ่อ แม่ น้ำ ใจ ดี หนึ่ง สอง สาม สี่ ห้า. This is mainly used for daily lives for Thai layer people. This feature is Sino-Tibetan and shares tonal language features like Chinese.
Whereas Pali and Sanskrit inherits into Thai classical scholar/religious/literature and technical arena particularly in the Royal court of the dynasties of the Kingdom of Thailand for over a thousand years.
Vedic civilization in the north-western of the Indian subcontinent, along the Sindhu-Surasvati, rivers basin which, probably around 10,000-2000 years ago was prosperous with mathematics, linguistic, cosmology plus astrology, philosophy and etc.
Sanskrit came into the Indochina peninsula with Hinduism and trade. Pali followed with Buddhism around BE 300 after Asokha the Great sent the missionary out. 800 years ago, Sukhothai Kingdom adopted Buddhism and Pali through Sri Lanka. Since Buddhism temples were the main educational institutes for Thai, Pali consonants and their sounds are the roots of 44 Thai consonants.
Eventually, most Thai consonants are based upon Pali and Sanskrit consonants with some modification. Certain consonant sounds have been simplified but lots of traits remain such as zero = soon ya = สุญญ, สูญ = ศูนย์ = empty. It is the unique mathematical concept originated in India before other civilizations. Ancient Egypt, Babylonian, Ancient Greek and Roman had some difficulties with Math because the lack of "Zero". Similarly, infinity = ananta = อนันต์ or probably อสงไขย = incalculable = uncountable = asongkaya is the mathematical concept originated in Vedic civilization.
So, Sanskrit plays very vital role in Thai language for elites. Most if not all of holy/sacred vocabularies to be used in Thai-Hinduism and for the Royal family are Sanskrit. "Swasdee สวัสดี" recently adopted into contemporary Thai, meaning "good luck", also comes from Sanskrit. Most of Thai technological vocabularies are Sanskrit whereas most of Theravadh Buddhism remains with Pali. The names of the 7 days, 12 months, planets (except Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) and constellations are in Sanskrit such as Chandra = จันทร์ = Monday = moon, Singhakom = สิงหาคม = Coming of the Lion = August.
There are evidences that Sanskrit may share the root with Indo-European language. There are similarities with Latin such as one= "a" = uni= eka = เอก , two = duo = โท to, three = tri = ไตร, four = quadra = tetra = จัตวา jatawa, five = penta = เบญจ ปัญจ, ten = deca = ทศ dosa, hundred = cent = ศต = sata.
By the way, most of the names of 76 provinces in Thailand are from Sanskrit. The longest and official name of Bangkok is a rhyme in Sanskrit. ua-cam.com/video/S75pY8w9J10/v-deo.html Plus some of the names ended with "Buri บุรี" means city or town is equivalent to "burrough" like Scarburough, Peterburough. It means a mound. Peter means Father / บิดร บิดา / pe tra)

Peter means rock tho. It is even mentioned in the bible.
You are correct eg. Petrous, Petrol. However, with similar sounds like Paternal, Patriotic, I wonder there could be overlap of the sounds as languages evolve.
Sanskrit is the mother words of the Thai language, it can be seen in royal words and poetry, even though all significant names are derived from Sanskrit.
Thank you so much for beautiful clip
So glad to see that sanskrit is still alive in thai

In the Hindi/Indonesian video we made before I only used Sanskrit-derived words, but we can definitely do a Sanskrit/Indonesian video in the future! Here is the link to that one: ua-cam.com/video/ZMBGD1a5fGw/v-deo.html
@@BahadorAlast please, do Javanese or balinese too
Can you do one for Maldives? 🇲🇻
It'll be amazing if you do one for my language because it's not very common for people to mention us. Our language Dhivehi also has sanskrit roots. The closest language to ours is Sinhala (Sri Lankan) a sister language that is mostly closest to ours that branched off the same common ancestor, so i hope you do one for both of the languages and their similarities one day! It will mean so much ❤
Also, the word "Vela" is also time in Dhivehi lol depending on the dialects because most dialects can be distant from the rest, all the while some are pretty close to sanskrit branch or to the sister language Sinhala. It's really interesting so i am hoping you'll do a video on that, maybe get some who speaks different dialects at the same time and see the differences between both Dhivehi and Sinhala.
Time in Sinhala is also "Velava"
Sinhala and Dhivehi are derived from Sanskrit both are Indo Aryan Languages. Both are also influenced by Dravidian Languages due to close contact with them. Even Marathi is influenced by Dravidian Languages
Nejuko chan
@@nishanj9400 Vela is a Dravidian word.
being a nepali speaker (closely related with sanskrit like hindi) its amazing i can understand a lot of thai words
Hats off to you for the effort you people has put to do this.
Sanskrit influenced lots of modern languages spoken in southeast asia today, I was really happy to watch this episode because I also learned a lot similarities between Sanskrit and Thai. I’ve also been comparing and finding similarities between my native languages (Javanese and Indonesian) to Sanskrit and they have lots in common too, even my middle and family name are from Sanskrit origins... I recommend do Javanese/Balinese and Sanskrit next episode!!
I must say, Indonesia, Malaysia ,Thailand, Java and Sumatra languages have brought a lot from the odia language , the official language of state of Odisha of India. As there is a odia legend that, ancient odia traders were used to voyage to southeast Asian countries with their ships for trading and eventually lot of cultural and linguistic aspects were went down to those countries. Example is in Thai the moon is called Jan, in odia it's actually Janha, ha in the end. And both the countries celebrate same kinda festival on kartik purnima. And in those countries , people from India are called keling, which is derived from Kalinga, the ancient name for the state of Odisha. I hope there would be more similarities I'm odia language and southeast Asian languages.
Thanks.
These are pure Odia
💯 agree . Kalinga people reach there before chola
Ya right...
@Vibhu Bharadwaj these are odia words not our sanskrit
@Vibhu Bharadwaj beautiful songua-cam.com/video/AjvDjHJXaaY/v-deo.html
This is a very interesting video. It's amazing that there are many people interested in Thai language.
Just a remark here:
I think (บัณฑิต) Pandit is more likely a graduate (not student) though. (I'm sure about this bc I am a graduate).
วิทยา (wittaya) means knowledge and it's not specifically used with science at all, while วิทยาลัย (wittayalai) means college or school (for example the renown school in Bangkok: Assumption College, St. Gabriel's College)
I am not a linguist but from basic Thai I use in daily life, it's supposed be like this.
But the rest she mentioned is more or less correct.
Thank you for making this video it's very informative.
บัณฑิต
อ่านว่า บัน-ดิด
บาลีเป็น “ปณฺฑิต” อ่านว่า ปัน-ดิ-ตะ
คำว่า “ปณฺฑิต” มีรากศัพท์มาได้หลายทาง เช่น :
(1) ปณฺฑา (= ปัญญา) + อิต (= ไป, ดำเนินไป, เกิดขึ้นพร้อม) ลบสระที่ ปณฺฑา
: ปณฺฑา > ปณฺฑ + อิต = ปณฺฑิต แปลตามศัพท์ว่า “ผู้ดำเนินชีวิตด้วยปัญญา” “ผู้มีปัญญาเกิดพร้อมแล้ว”
(2) ปฑิ (ธาตุ = ไป, ถึง, เป็นไป) + ต ปัจจัย, ลงนิคหิตอาคมแล้วแปลงเป็น ณ
: ปฑิ > ปํฑิ > ปณฺฑิ + ต = ปณฺฑิต แปลตามศัพท์ว่า “ผู้ดำเนินไปสู่ความเป็นผู้ฉลาด”
(3) ปณฺฑ (ธาตุ = รู้) + ต ปัจจัย, อิ อาคม
: ปณฺฑ + อิ = ปณฺฑิ + ต = ปณฺฑิต แปลตามศัพท์ว่า “ผู้รู้จักประโยชน์และมิใช่ประโยชน์”
ความหมายของ “ปณฺฑิต” ในบาลีคือ สุขุม, ไตร่ตรอง, รอบรู้, ฉลาด, รู้ทัน, จัดเจน, หลักแหลม, รอบคอบ, ระมัดระวัง, ถี่ถ้วน, ชำนิชำนาญ, ช่ำชอง, ว่องไว, คล่องแคล่ว, มีความสามารถ, มีไหวพริบ, รู้จักคิด, รู้จักเหตุผล = รู้จักผิดชอบชั่วดีควรไม่ควร
พจนานุกรมบาลี-อังกฤษ แปล “ปณฺฑิต” เป็นอังกฤษว่า wise, clever, skilled, circumspect, intelligent
“ปณฺฑิต” ในภาษาไทยใช้ว่า “บัณฑิต”

I'm Malaysian Chinese, now learning Thai Language, I'm always have a big questions why Thai have 44 alphabet and always have ์ to add on some alphabet but without pronounce it.
after watched this video, i finally understood why Thai language so complicated, very impressed me, good Video 👍☺️
The Rajabundit, The Thai Royal Institute, uses Preserved Form System in spelling definition.
Even for the word from malayo-polynesian, there is a specific characteristic and if you read the Thai work that came from Arabic you might wondering, How we can survive in this complex language. Most Thai didn't do well in Thai language class.
Most awaited video and what a ton load of knowledge. Thank you Bahador 🙏
Having visited Kanchanaburi, Chonburi and ofcourse arriving at Suvarnabhumi, surely makes much sense now.
Similarly, Sukhothai in Northern Thailand means Sukh Udaya.
Buriram, I presume should mean Rampuri or in modern day hindi it will be Rampur.
Thank you again.
Also, the way the Thai participant pronounced the consonants, Assamese pronounce it the exact same manner with a lot of emphasis on the sound 'o' unlike Hindi/sanskrit 'a'.
As a Tai myself from Assam, India, we share numerous common factors with our Thai counterpart including words of everyday usage and the number system.
Sanskrit is oldest and mother of all languages from Asia to Europe 😁 lots of love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
False narrative ,Sanskrit is a sister language not mother language in Indo Iranian family ,Tamil is older and its derivative Dravidian languages are not connected to Sanskrit.
Yes! Along with the “graduated student” definition as mentioned, บัณฑิต (pandita) also has another meaning in Buddhism as opposed to คนพาล (or พาล pala). It means a person filled with the righteous knowledge, a bit like a philosopher, who deserves to be taken as example. The latter meaning people with bad behavior, who should be avoided. I really enjoyed this video thank you for posting it, I loved it from a Thai’s perspective. Sanskrit is magnificent ♥️
As a Thai person and a linguistic nerd this was right up my alley! Thanks algorithm!
Beautifully done, all three of you. Salil, I loved your explanation of the alphabet and pronunciations. Your love for everything Thai really showed.
