生肖Thai Việt Khmer Chinese Zodiac Animal 属 Name Mystery Solved! 🐭🐂🐅🐇🐈🐉🐍🐎🐐🐒🐓🐕🐖

Happy Year of the Snake! 蛇年快樂 In the spirit of the Lunar New Year - Chinese / or Vietnamese Tết , I hope this clip will hit the spot.
It's a mystery to many learners of Thai - If there are perfectly good Thai names for animals, then why do we use terms like ma sěng (มะเส็ง) or jo (จอ) in Thai for zodiac animals instead of the everyday words like ngu (งู) for snake or mǎ (หมา) for dog?
In this clip, I break down exactly how the zodiac animal names we use in Thai are rooted in old Khmer, influenced by Sanskrit, Pali, and Chinese.
You’ll also see how the Mon-Khmer and Austroasiatic roots of Vietnamese and Khmer words like puah (ពស់) for snake and ko (គោ) for ox influence the zodiac terms. Chữ Nôm is also part of the story, showing the deep linguistic layers behind these names across the region.
