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. - Zábava

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.

Khmer was once hindu kingdom. So nothing surprising. Its very natural

@@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.

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)
In sanskrit its, vidya shastra in hindi vigyan

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.

Hey nice 🚩 I just wanted to tell you touched my heart with your words.
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.
Thai has tones right? Also, Indian languages has aspirated words but it isn't present in Thai so I think that's the reason.
I'm a malayali and it has got a lot of influence from Sanskrit. So i was also able to pick up correctly most of the words without even learning it
Like Literally most of the word in Malayalam was basically Sanskrit
Yes i can understand malayali words because i study sanskrit in schools.
Absolutely
Malayalam takes the best of both Sanskrit ans Tamil.
Our language is the baby of Sanskrit and Tamil.
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?

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.
Thai's people names mostly in Sanskrit. For example, my own name is Maharath which means a very big city or a great city. I love this video so much.
Your name is maharath in sanskrit.... Which means highly skilled or mastery in something.... It could be martial arts, war strategy, music, knowledge or something...

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 :)

You mean Telugu is deeply rooted in Sanskrit.
Haha! Samee Akhand Bharat is love:)
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.
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

Yes, but only if people can actually pronounce it correctly. Many in India can't these days, where they pronounce ज्ञ as "gya" and ऋ as "ri" or "ru", श as "sa" and ष as श. Ironically, if people want to learn "Sanskrit" (Samskrt) these days, they have to learn it outside of India.
@@tstcikhthys Sanskrit was never a daily language - only a formal way of communicating or transmitting information- to prevent ambiguities and keeping structure and form intact especially in divine liturgy long long before the use of written scripts! And in Kannada the language is called 'Samskruta' - which itself means 'properly composed'.
@@rameshraghothama8324 This is a silly myth that seems to be perpetuated for some reason; many people spoke Samskrt on the daily. But the point is that pronouncing it as "ru" is incorrect.
As I am Thai. While I'm watching this clip I was like "What! Wow! That's very similar to our Thai language."
Funny thing is When this man says Sanskrit I can first think of Thai word before this Thai lady says.😂
I'm enjoy with this clip so much. thank you.
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.
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.

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.

The fake of history created in books
Ayuthaya and ayodhya are same ...
Both glorify lord Rama as cultural hero . We have similar cultures . That's pretty interesting..
B'coz In ancient times (even in the present day), Thai people believed that all the Kings were a fictional deity, especially Vishnu or Narai. so that's why many of Thai kings in the past has the word Rama in their names (like the Ramayana story) even during the Rattanakosin Period the short names of all kings were called King Rama 1st, King Rama 2nd til Rama 10th
so that's why in the past we have Ayutthya (or Ayodhya) as a Capital city during 1350 to 1767
and also there is the word Ayodhya in the full name of Bangkok city
I think Indian people should not let the Sanskrit language die. Because After watching your videos I have realized that how Sanskrit was the base of communication in old time and it is really helpful to understand words of Other languages. 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.

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

I don't know how you guys get the idea of producing sth. like this. It's very interesting and I really love it. I'd like to add some little thing here. The word 'school' we call it 'โรงเรียน' (Rong-rian), college we also call 'วิทยาลัย ' (vid-da-yaa-lai) and university มหาวิทยาลัย (ma-haa-vid-da-yaa-lai). And you're rightly put it here for the meaning of 'pandit' but we pronouce it 'bandit' (spelled like 'bandit' - 'member of a gang of armed robbers' but we pronounced it a little different) also meaning 'learned person'. The word 'sraddhaa', we Thai people pronounce it by ommitting the r letter. Lastly 'vud' derived from Pali word 'vudฺdฺhi' meaing 'increasing' ; 'growth' ; or 'prosperity' so 'Dhanaavud' means 'growth or prosperity in wealth'. หมายเหตุ : น้องคนไทยคนนีน่ารักมาก ยิ้มสวยมีเสน่ห์ ชอบมากครับ

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.

"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".
Pandit words synonyms in sanskrit = vidwan
@Akash Varude These are actually loan words from Pali passing through Buddhist texts.
@@chaiyasitdhi pali came much much later
@@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".
It's me or are all your Sanskrit guests are well educated and knowledgeable. They always give something out of the box.

It's interesting to look at some parts of Southeast Asia who still have the Ancient Indian influence(used to be called Indo-China). I wonder if India would have looked similar if it wasn't always invaded (which really sucks).
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.
