“The Siamese language began its formation not only from its original elements but also from a foreign root, the Khmer language to be specific.” Saveros Pou.

This kind of statement might be taken as an insult by some Thais. This is a sensitive issue, especially since this ridiculous clash about Preah Vihear temple. (A good adage in politics: to divert people from real problems, make up a good old chauvinist crisis).

Note that curiously the fact that ราชาศัพท์ comes from Khmer will be better accepted.

Khmer is a language of the Mon-Khmer family, Thai is a language of the Tai-Kadai family.

I don’t need to teach you this: The Khmer people had lived in peninsular southeast Asia long before the Tai people came from Yunnan.

But now take a look at the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, “About Thailand”:

This theory has been altered by the discovery of prehistoric artifacts in Ban Chiang. It now appears that the Thais might have originated here in Thailand and latter scattered to various parts of Asia, including some parts of China.

Nice shortcut: A settlement from the bronze age has been found in Ban Chiang (the oldest one in the world it seems), so they were Thai people, the Thais come from Ban Chiang !!

Note that the more historically convincing (to say the least) theory of the Yunnan origin is used by some Chinese to assert that southeast Asia belong to the people’s republic of China…

So if you want to calm down a staunch partisan of the “Thai language doesn’t owe anything to those bumpkin เขมร“, here are a few facts.

Many borrowed words trace back to the สุโขทัย era. They are everyday words still in use today: for instance เดิน, “to walk”.

ราชดำเนิน means the king passage.

ดำเนิน is “the walking”. It comes from ดำเนิน, “to walk”. This is not a Thai way of coining words, this is a typical Khmer way of coining words (which is called infixation). Because เดิน is a Khmer word (today pronounced daoe (diphthong xะ เxอ) in Khmer).

We can find the original Thai word for “to walk” still in use today in Lao: ย่าง. Lao has been a little less influenced by Khmer than Siamese (or at least Lao has retained more original Thai words in parallel).

As for ราช, “the king” of course it’s an Indian word (maharajah), but it must be stressed that all the Sanskrit and Prakrit words you can find in Siamese (that makes a real big chunk) have entered Siamese through old Khmer, because the direct Indian influence had already vanished when the Siamese founded their kingdoms.

And of course, modern Thai script stems from Khmer script (but the old ones didn’t: Lanna and Tham stem from Mon).

Note that Khmer script is still used today in ยันต์ and tattoo, and if your staunch partisan has this kind of tattoo, he will tell you this is ขอม, not เขมร (which is exactly the same of course).

Here are a few examples:
จมูก “nose”, in Lao you say ดัง
สะพาน “bridge”, in Lao you say ขัว
ยาย “maternal grandmother”, in Lao you say แม่ตู้
กำลัง for continuous tense, in Lao you (can also) say พวม

This Lao/Thai trick is not a general rule:
ก๋วยเตี๋ยว in Lao you say เฝอ. Of course this one is not true: ก๋วยเตี๋ยว is a Teochew word and เฝอ a Vietnamese word.

Some other words:
วัด “monastery” and also “to measure” (both from Mon-Khmer root meaning “to make a circle, to mark the boundary”)
ผสม “to mix”
ตำนาน “legend”
ตำบล “district” (from old Khmer “cluster of houses”)
สะอาด “clean”
เรียน “to learn”
อาจ “can” (the final จ gives away the Khmer origin)
เสมียน “clerk”
ทะเบียน “register”
ถนน “street”
ตรวจ “to examine” and ตำรวจ “police” (you see the khmer coining of words as in “to walk”)
นัก prefix for profession (meaning “a person” in khmer), as in นักเรียน and guess what, เรียน also comes from Khmer.

Some grammatical words now:
สำหรับ “for”
เพราะ “because”
หรือ “or”
โดย “by way of”

And this is a very small (untidy…) sample of words of Khmer origin.

เขมร is of Khmer origin! Today in Cambodia it’s pronounced khmae (diphthong xะ แx). But in Surin they didn’t drop the ร, they pronounce a beautiful rolled ร. (I love those rolled ร, บุรรรรีรรรรัมย์ !!).

And it’s a general rule, Khmer Surin tends to be more conservative than Cambodian Khmer in its pronunciation. So we can say that if you want to hear “pure” Khmer, you have to go to Surin…

You are kwai buffalo again. Many MK speaker ethnic groups have been living in Thailand long before Siamese, and Ancient Syam are MK speakers themselves, Mon Dvaravati also MK speakers. Those loan words are not wholly Khmer. The proof is Southern Thai language is heavily mixed with MK language, the common words in your quote are very common MK words. LOL Don't claim MK words as all KHMER. It's same as you claim Angkorean are khmer. That's bs

And we do influence your Khmer language, otherwise you couldn't count beyond 20 !!!!

dont lying to yourself ladyboys.

even foreigners know the truth. go to the website and read their comments. khmer only claim what is ours, thats the different between khmer and siamese aka ladyboys.

Khmer buffalo, Siamese in Northern Malaysia use jamuk as nose. So they got it from KHMER???

You are real dumbass.

i know you feel bad for using our words, but thats what you get for being a slave.

you should be happy that you learn something new ok ladyboy

Note that curiously the fact that ราชาศัพท์ comes from Khmer will be better accepted. <--- rajasap is SNASKRIT AND PALI. there is no Khmer word in there. Well done idiot khmers for pretending to invent sanskrit and Pali.

Khmer is a language of the Mon-Khmer family, Thai is a language of the Tai-Kadai family. <--- any idiot knows this

I don’t need to teach you this: The Khmer people had lived in peninsular southeast Asia long before the Tai people came from Yunnan. <---- Territory that Thailand sits on is Mon territory. Khmer territory is further southeast close to Cham territory. Hell, your people were hill tribes domesticated by the Cham when other AA groups were already making kingdoms. Tai have been in SEA as far back as 2000BC and have their first kingdom before the imaginary Khmer empire. If you believe otherwise your just ignorant we have presented evidence. Khmers can not.

Many borrowed words trace back to the สุโขทัย era. They are everyday words still in use today: for instance เดิน, “to walk”. <---- Sukhothai once belonged to Lavo kingdom. Lavo is MON, Mon is a member of the austroasiatic family. Since when did Mon become Khmer? lol only in the heads of Khmers lol


ราชดำเนิน means the king passage. <--- from what I know of Thai language. This doesn't translate as "Walk" it translates as "to go" or "Continue" I could be wrong. but it doesnt mean passage roflmao whoever translated this is an idiot

ดำเนิน is “the walking”. It comes from ดำเนิน, “to walk”. This is not a Thai way of coining words, this is a typical Khmer way of coining words (which is called infixation). Because เดิน is a Khmer word (today pronounced daoe (diphthong xะ เxอ) in Khmer). <--- since when did Khmers suddenyl represent the entire Austroasiatic people? oh yes, only i nthe imagination of Khmers. Well done

We can find the original Thai word for “to walk” still in use today in Lao: ย่าง. Lao has been a little less influenced by Khmer than Siamese (or at least Lao has retained more original Thai words in parallel).

As for ราช, “the king” of course it’s an Indian word (maharajah), but it must be stressed that all the Sanskrit and Prakrit words you can find in Siamese (that makes a real big chunk) have entered Siamese through old Khmer, because the direct Indian influence had already vanished when the Siamese founded their kingdoms. <---- came through old Khmer? roflmao when did Sanskrit and Pali come from old Khmer? from what I know Those ancient indian languages predates Khmer people by thousands of years lol. Once again imagination of Kmher people)

And of course, modern Thai script stems from Khmer script (but the old ones didn’t: Lanna and Tham stem from Mon). <---- This we know. its written in history. No one is denying it. How to rule slaves if they can't read or write your language? Khmers were too retarded to learn Tai script lol

Note that Khmer script is still used today in ยันต์ and tattoo, and if your staunch partisan has this kind of tattoo, he will tell you this is ขอม, not เขมร (which is exactly the same of course). <---- is Khom the same as Khmer? did Khmers invent this script? or simply just using it. from evidence we can see that the rulers of FuNan and Chenla were NOT Khmer. Now how did Khmers suddenly claim to have invented this script? You use it. Doesn't mean you invented it.

Here are a few examples:
จมูก “nose”, in Lao you say ดัง <---- what is the Khmer word for nose?
สะพาน “bridge”, in Lao you say ขัว <------ what is the Khmer word for bridge?
ยาย “maternal grandmother”, in Lao you say แม่ตู้ <----- what is the Khmer word for Maternal Grandmother?
กำลัง for continuous tense, in Lao you (can also) say พวม <----- wtf? lol

This Lao/Thai trick is not a general rule:
ก๋วยเตี๋ยว in Lao you say เฝอ. Of course this one is not true: ก๋วยเตี๋ยว is a Teochew word and เฝอ a Vietnamese word.

Some other words:
วัด “monastery” and also “to measure” (both from Mon-Khmer root meaning “to make a circle, to mark the boundary”) Khmer root? lol does this mean it doesn't appear in other Austroasiatic dialects? once again Khmers claiming for all austroasiatic people. Mon are not Khmer. Well done.

ผสม “to mix”

All of the above totally neglects that Khmer are not the only Austroasiatic speakers in SEA lol like I mentioned earlier. Ayuthaya/Siam/Sukhothai ARE ALL FORMER MON TERRITORY. Where the hell did Khmer come into it? Mon are not Khmer. They are austroasiatic speakers but not the same group as Khmer. Khmers write Mons out of history and try to claim their heritage. Shameless thieves.

เขมร is of Khmer origin! Today in Cambodia it’s pronounced khmae (diphthong xะ แx). But in Surin they didn’t drop the ร, they pronounce a beautiful rolled ร. (I love those rolled ร, บุรรรรีรรรรัมย์ !!). <---- Khmer is of Khmer origin? there is a topic on the origin of the word Khmer. No Khmer can show or know where this word comes from. The word being shown is a sanskrit word. Once again the writer knows nothing about said subject and just making assumptions.

And it’s a general rule, Khmer Surin tends to be more conservative than Cambodian Khmer in its pronunciation. So we can say that if you want to hear “pure” Khmer, you have to go to Surin…

We've already covered everything she has written on AF lol posting this tired old assumption that Khmer is the be all and end all of SEA is pointless roflmao once again another retarded attempt from Khmers to try and claim that Siam came from Khmer lol

I think you people need to go and apologise to Mon and Cham people for stealing their identity and creation.

Shameless.

Really? oh that surprise me!!! ^^ while Cham living peacefully in Cambodia and Cham in Thailand fighting and booming almost everyday for independence what is that????

It's normal silly khmer thinking, Khmer always mix all ethnics to one group. How retard! That's why you claim all AA as Khmer!

Cham is Cham, Malay is Malay. Cham in not Malays in southern Thailand. And Cham have been treating well in Thai society. We had Cham militiamen who fleed from Cham kingdom, and we used them fight with our enemy. Cham towns were in Ayutthaya, and now are in Bangkok.

So why don't you treat Malay the same as Cham then? ^^ Is that not because in your society treat people in difference way by ethnicity? But I still remember your mentality~ Once time your government announce that Our Cham in Cambodia supporting the Malay in southern!!! but of cause Problems in Thailand always Take Cambodia evolve! that how your brain work!!

One of Thai Muslim was the president of Thailand parliament. They have been treated well you dumbass. The problem in South causes from local mafia and outside factors.

Cham in Cambodia are different becos they are Khmer citizens.

See? you can't see your fault that why those problem never stop!! Imaging if you want to have war with Cambodia what is in the end??? Are you sure American will always stay in your side?? Who around you will help you?? No one!!! Everyone around you just hate you as hell!!! Look at Lao, Look at Burma, Look at Malay? See?? What about Cambodia?? we Have Indochina, We have China, Maybe Malay and Burma will join us too! ^^

We have them all in Thailand; Burmese, Lao, khmer, Malays and I don't see any problem. The only problem are the stupidity of their governments especially the Cambodian, They act like a crying lil child in the eye of the world.

Lol~ that is good then if there is a war then we just fight from the inside that easier!!! ^^

They are in Thailand making their fortune. You have your normal childish thinking.

Thai Rajasap has Khmer words. Maybe you need to study more it more, even Thai encyclopedias acknowledge this. There are words in Thai royal language (also used in poetic compositions) like "cheung" "phlao" "kanchiak", etc that do not originate from regular Thai language. These words are based on Khmer words that we use still today for foot (jerng), thigh (phlov), and ear (trachiek). Some of these words may have been applied to objects and transitioned to regular Thai language. For example, "kanchiak jorn" refers to a type of jewelry, and "sanap phlao" refers to pants (both are classical dance costumes) and "cheung" is used to refer to the base of some objects but it also occurs for the name of the royal slippers (ฉลองพระบาทเชิงงอน). These usage do not occur in Laotian or other Tai lanauges. It is because Thai like to borrow words from many languages (not just Khmer, but Persian, Malay, Mon, etc). But there is Khmer words in the royal Thai language because early Siamese royalty was modeled after Khmer royalty in Sukhothai and especially early Ayuthaya period.

Rajasap is not pure Sanskrit/Pali. It is a mix of Khmer, Sanskrit, and Pali and some Thai.

These are not Mon words. From what I've read, I find that Khmer has very little in common with Mon. There aren't a lot of cognates between Khmer and Mon. And I can find no relation to the Khmer cognates in Thai language with any Mon words.


Also, learn to comprehend. I think that copy and paste post has some invalid points, but you're misinterpreting them. For example, Pali language probably came to Cambodia from Mon/Siamese influence. But what was implied is that Sanskrit and Pali came to Thailand via Khmer. The thing is, Khmers did not know Pali language until after Angkro period.
You, SabaiSabai, are interpreting it as him saying Indian words as Khmer origin?

Anyways, aren't you guys tired of this talk? It goes in circles. KHmer influence Siamese during Sukhothai and early Ayuthaya period while Siamese influence Cambodians a lot too during the Ratanakosin period. The word "tum hu" is used in Khmer, but it is a Thai influence for the name of earrings (hu= ear in Thai). Get over it people. Both cultures have influences from each other.

lol your probably right, my knowledge of Rajasap is poor lol but hey, anything to piss off a troll lol

Anyone who doesn't know the flow of cultural influence is 2 way is an idiot lol try telling that to your Khmer trolls lol

That is something you seem lack of.

And you lack in English grammar, whats your point? lol

Wow being very offensive now? LMAO! I think you need to relax Ai kwuay.

Saying you have bad grammar is being offensive? lol wtf??? get a grip of yourself Mr Jack ga'dawson, your losing it again 5555

Here that is from Charnvit Kasetsiri, A Thai Historian, who have Native Mon-Chinese.

Among the neighboring countries of Southeast Asia, none seems more similar to Thailand than Cambodia (perhaps not even excluding Laos and the “Tai” people scattered throughout such countries as Burma, Vietnam, and southern China). Both nations share similar customs, traditions, beliefs, and ways of life. This is especially true of royal customs, language, writing systems, vocabulary, literature, and the dramatic arts.
In light of these similarities, it seems surprising, therefore, that relations between Thailand and Cambodia should be characterized by deep-seated “ignorance, misunderstanding, and prejudice.” Indeed, the two countries have what can be termed “a love-hate relationship.”
This lack of understanding is reflected in the thinking of a considerable number of educated Thais and members of the ruling class, who distinguish between the Khom and the Khmer, considering them to be two separate ethnic groups. They assert that it was the Khom, not the Khmer, who built the majestic temple complexes at Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom and who founded one of the world’s truly magnificent ancient empires. They further claim that Khmer culture, for instance its various forms of masked dance drama, is merely a “derivative” of Thai culture. (This is despite the fact that the word “Khom” is derived from the old Thai “Khmer krom,” meaning “lowland Khmer.” In spoken Thai, “Khmer” was gradually dropped, leaving only “krom,” which over time became, first, “klom” or “kalom,” and then eventually “Khom.”)

So then who have to sorry to who???? You lazy researcher with Ignorance!!!

I read that articles before. And yes that is so true!! These Thai are mindless when it comes to fact.

roflmao Charnvit is a crack pot. Why would the love hate relationship have anything to do with the meaning of Khom? roflmao

Let me tell you why, it is because the Thai way of thinking is the opposite of Khmer way of thinking. Thai look to the future and embrace development. Khmers look to the past and shun development.

Thai mentality and Khmer mentality is like black and white. Even if we share the same cultural background the 2 peoples will still not see eye to eye. Not to mention the Idea that wealth and education etc is what dominates the drive for developing countries. Khmers are not exactly world renowned for embracing education nor is Cambodia a wealthy developed country.

Now let me point out another flaw in Mr Charnvits theory. If the name used for Khmers was Khmer krom which then turned into Khrom the turned into klom then kalom then Khom. WHY DO WE CALL YOU KHMER TODAY???? the name khmer went through 5 transitions before reverting back to the original word? lol its absurd. The main flaw in the theory that I pointed out is that there is no evidence anywhere that the word Khmer existed in ancient times. How can he base that theory on a word which had not yet exist? the word Khmer was dropped? more like the word Khmer never existed. This would then indicate that the word Khom comes directly from the word Krom.

Khom sabat khlon lampong <---- what would you translate this as?. You beginning to understand yet? the context in which the word is used is different then if it was used to mean just "lower".

Hell, even your signature doesn't even say Kmeer of which you thought Khmer comes from. So what is this magical word Khmer and where did it come form? it cannot be dropped from a word if it never existed. Get it?

See? your ignorance!!!!! That help you nothing dear... that all you though about us. But if we ask is it true?? Nope You never ask.. You though it and you believe in it that it!! that how ignorance brain work!!! ^^ But anyways don't losing the point even the Mon who is a Thai Historian.. which a great Education isn't agree with how the your you guy's brain work!!!! You would say sorry to them for disrespectful to his expression!!!! not Khmer!!!!

roflmao your a retard. He has his theory and I have mine. Which one is right? it doesn't matter to you because you already believe everything written down in your text books even if we have come across evidence which shows its a lie lol this may dear fellow is real ignorance.

Theories that do not match happens all the time in the academic world. Don't try to hide behind Mr Charnvits PHD and pretend like its godly and it must make him correct lol thats how uneducated people think lol

A Phd just means he took the time to get that qualification. Doesn't make him right rofl and I have already showed you the flaws in his theory. Him being of Mon descent doesn't change anything in his theory either lol you people will believe anything you've been told without even questioning it lol ignorance much? yep sure are

On that note I think the next time Im in Thailand I will pay him a visit and question him about his theory. Wan't me to publish the results? lol just don't be surprised when it comes out as it was just pure speculation lol

Why question him? It is his own opinion. If you are against it then you should publish you're own opinion. Retard. Thai criticizing his own people. So very Thai. LMAO!

oh dear lord lol can't believe I have to explain this. If I don't question him, then I won't have access to his research material that allowed him to come up with such a whack theory. If we can't get to the root of the problem how can we correct it? its that simple.

Who knows perhaps he knows when the first time the word Khmer appeared in history lol many things I wan't to ask him.

And this is going to be who is right and who is wrong situation? The last time I heard this. Thai killing Thai just for this small matters.
