Similarities Between Sanskrit and Thai

Sanskrit has had a huge impact on Thai. This linguistic influence can be noticed from the minute you arrive at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, the name of which is derived from the Sanskrit term सुवर्णभूमि (suvarnabhumi), meaning "golden land". Sanskrit, being one of the languages Buddhist scriptures were written in, has greatly influenced Thai culture as well. For many centuries, Thailand, and much of Southeast Asia, was under Indian sphere of cultural influence. The close linguistic relationship between India and Thailand can be observed today in the many common words that exist between Thai and Sanskrit-derived languages.

Sanskrit (संस्कृत) is one of the oldest Indo-Aryan languages. It has influenced several Indo-European, Iranian, as well as European languages. It is the primary liturgical language of Hinduism and some texts of Buddhism and Jainism. Today, Sanskrit is still spoken as a primary language in some parts of India. Sanskrit has had a significant impact on languages outside of the Indian subcontinent. Sanskrit manuscripts and inscriptions have been found in China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Mongolia, Thailand, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Japan, and other parts of the world. It is very common to find words that are derived from Sanskrit in Chinese, Sino-Tibetan languages, Thai, Khmer, and Lao. Austronesian languages, such as Javanese, Malay, Tagalog, and Indonesian, also derive a portion of their vocabulary from Sanskrit. European languages, including English, also contain words derived from Sanskrit.
Thai (ภาษาไทย) is the national language of Thailand belonging to the Tai group of the Kra-Dai language family. It's closely related to other Southwestern Tai languages such as Lao, and Shan in Myanmar.

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.

[@tstcikhthys]

@@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.

Well You doing great job Bahador. Thanks for doing something which is helpful for this generation to understand the importance of Sanskrit language. Now days Indian people not even able to differentiate between Hindi and Urdu words because it is totally dissolved. I have seen one of your video of Hindi and Persian, in which the lady didn't know that the words she is using are not Hindi words they were Urdu words which is became the part of Hindi.

[@kantabijnloetphasumsiddhi7644]

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.

[@guillemmartinez9958]

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.

[@ylamoon]

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.

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".

Pandit words synonyms in sanskrit = vidwan

[@chaiyasitdhi]

@Akash Varude These are actually loan words from Pali passing through Buddhist texts.

[@Shriya-pp1vw]

[@chaiyasitdhi]

@@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.

Pandita in Indonesia is Christian or Hindu priest, we pronounce it with "Pendeta/ Pandhita".

[@LIfe-zm4nj]

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. Also, 'Jan' in Sanskrit has a meaning it means masses or people but since this question was coming from Thai language he derived in a different analogy which was spot on...hats off

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.

[@supersaiyan2648]

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 .

[@mxd-1990asn]

Not almost, 50% actually. The rest of thai mainly comes from south chinese dialects ( zhuang ,taecheow etc) so about 40% (thai is mainly sanskrit/south chinese mix). I am half thai half south chinese , i speak more than 2 different south chinese dialects + thai so i know the similarities between the languages more than people who dont understand any chinese languages. The rest of 10% are a mix of words who are persian/iran and english & some vietnamese.

OMG my shock level.....i get goosebumps literally because i have learnt sanskrit in my school till 8th grade and i still remember it was toughest subject to score for my whole class....now i dont remember too much but i can read and understand the meaning wherever i see the sanskrit words.....and bcoz sanskrit is one of the toughest language in world i m shocked that a country language is driven by sanskrit influence and that country has to be my Ultimate bias ----Thailand. Now i get it why at the start i was drawn towards thailand ...its music...its culture...its attires...its lovely talking style... really make me feel somehow familiar to my native. No wonder i always find thai letters and words looks alike as a bit similar to bengali style or Semi sanskrit style. I bet in thailand they would not have problem to watch our Historical shows because it has a lot of sanskrit words.
