The Characteristics of Thai Word Order with Extended Information (1)
There are three kinds of Thai today: secular language, royal language and monk language.
Characters are written in the form of comic strips, from left to right, horizontally, with no punctuation marks and no spaces between words. A sentence is spelled continuously from beginning to end, and a sentence is expressed by the space between two empty letters or a small pause in the sentence.
The traditional printing of Thai letters is like notes on a staff. Most letters have small circles, so some people compare them to tadpoles. Thai is very similar to Cambodian and Lao.
In spoken and written Thai, the basic word order, like Chinese, is a "subject-predicate-object" structure, but the biggest difference from Chinese is that modifiers follow modifiers, that is, in short, Thai adjectives follow nouns and adverbs follow verbs, such as "These socks are beautiful" in Chinese, and the word order of Thai becomes "beautiful socks and pairs of socks".
Thai literature and drama
Early Thai literature was related to religion, kingship and nobility, and it was expressed in the form of poetry. At the beginning of the 20th century, Rama VI reformed Thai literature, and since then, prose has become a favorite writing form of Thai writers. In their works, they also describe ordinary daily life. One of the most important literary works is Rama Jian.
The Lama sword has also been adapted into a Thai drama, which is performed with traditional Thai music and dance. It is a long-term reserved program for royal celebrations and religious activities.
