    The Kra-Dai languages, also known as the Tai-Kadai languages, are a language family widely spoken across southern China and Mainland Southeast Asia. The Tai branch, which contains Thai and Lao, constitutes the bulk of the family.
    These languages are tonal. They also share many lexical similarities with the Chinese languages due to centuries of language contact. There are also hypotheses proposing that Kra-Dai may be related to the Austronesian or Hmong-Mien families.
    This video presents the history and evolution of the Kra-Dai languages from 2000 BCE to the present.
    Disclaimer: all dates are approximations, and there are many hypotheses regarding the development and classification of these languages that are not represented in this video.

    I’m Thai and appreciate it! Kra-Dai is not famous and less known unlike other larger language families. Formerly, Kra-Dai (formerly known as Tai-Kadai) was considered to be part of Sino-Tibetan (formerly known as Tibeto-Chinese) together with Vietnamese and Hmong-Mien, but from the current linguistic and genetic evidences, Kra-Dai seems to be distantly related to Austronesian rather than Sino-Tibetan.
    There are 2 hypothesis about the origin of Kra-Dai: 1) Kra-Dai split from Austronesian before the Proto-Austronesians migrated to Taiwan or 2) Kra-Dai migrated from the Philippines back to the mainland China via Hainan and was highly sinicized. That’s why modern Thais, Lao and other Tai ethnic groups look like Austronesians in appearances and customs (tattooing, sailing skills and water culture), especially the Filippinos despite of geographic distance.
    Tai languages also share many cognates with Austronesian languages but Tai is monosyllabic and tonal. Comparing Thai to Austronesian, similarities are remarkable in basic vocabs indicating cognates rather than loanwords:
    - ตา ta - mata (eye)
    - ตาย tay - matay (to die)
    - นก nok - manok (bird)
    - กิน kin - kain (to eat)
    - ดื่ม düm - inom (to drink)
    - แดด dæt - init (sun)
    - เดือน *blwan - buwan, bulan (moon)
    - ดอก *blok - bulaklak (flower)
    - น้ำ nam - danom (water)
    - ไฟ fay - apoy (fire)
    - ฟัน fan - ngipin (teeth)
    - มือ mü - lima (hand)
    - นี้ ni - ini (this)
    - นั้น nan - iyan (that)
    - โน้น non - iyon (that beyond)
    - กู ku - aku, ako (I, me)
    - มึง *mü - kamu, mo (you)
    *Proto-Tai

      @xXxSkyViperxXx 3 года назад +8

      "Filipino" is a nationality, not an ethnic group
      also, u seem to have used tagalog to compare with thai terms. "init" means hot in tagalog, not sun. sun is "araw". แดด dæt sounds more like how sun is said in philippine hokkien chinese "di̍t (日)". "danom" is not tagalog. water is "tubig" in tagalog. tho "danom" does exist as water in other austronesian languages in the philippines. "lima" does not mean hand in tagalog. "lima" means five in tagalog. "kamay" is hand in tagalog. "ini" is also not tagalog. "ito" is this in tagalog. "iyan" does mean that (close to the speaker) in tagalog, but i think "niyan" with roughly the same meaning might sound closer to นั้น nan. "iyon" also does mean that (far from the speaker) in tagalog, but i think "niyon" sounds closer to โน้น non, plus these days, people in ph do sometimes shorten it to non or nun.

    The probability that the Tai-Kradai people are made up from at least two more ethnics is pretty high. The Tày who are an Eastern Tai ethnic live in the Northeast Vietnam have this interesting legend about the creation of themselves. There were two different friends from two different places met. They were hunters and gatherers at first and together they found the rice plant. One day, they were sad to see different tribes just fought and killed each other endlessly so they made a vow to never fight with each other even if how different people might be and so that's how the Tày were born. Btw, Tày also called themselves Tai (means freed, peaceful people) but in Vietnamese, Tai means ear so we call them Tày to not be confused. The Tày also consider the Nùng as one like them. The Nùng is the Eastern Tai newly migrated from China specific Guangxi, Tày is the Tai natives in Vietnam. They are known for stories that teach people kindness and having mercy

    Hi, Dragon Historian.
    We are an undergraduate team from SISU(Shanghai International Studies University). We are recently working on a project about a brief introduction video of the Sino-Tibetan languages’ history.
    Your video briefly and concisely gave us a clear outlook of the Sinitic (Chinese) Languages and the Kra-Dai (Tai-Kadai) Languages. We are wondering whether could we use your videos for study purposes and use a few of your video clips in our introduction video?
    We will cite you as a source at the end of our video!!

    Hello, I like your video very much! There's not so much video about Kra-Dai on RUclips. :D
    But a little bit problem I suggest, I think the map is a bit too much depend on modern distribution of Kra-Dai, especially those in China. It should be much wider spread in the history: Late until 9th century, medival Chinese document has recorded Kra-Dai vocabulary in Enping county, Guangdong province, which is just in the west of Canton city. We can suggest that Kra-Dai language existed in lower Pearl River basin at least until 9th or 10th century.

    KRA sounds Austronesian especially Ecun Buyang. They just like to shortcut the words. Example, Austronesian numbers 1-10: 1- isa, 2- dalawa/ duha, 3- tatlo/ tulo, 4- apat/ upat, 5- lima, 6- anim, 7- pito, 8- walo, 9- siyam, 10- sampu/ sepuluh. In KRA Ecun Buyang its, 3- tatlo/ tulo into “tu”, 4- apat into “pa”, 5- lima into “ma”, 6- anim into “nam”, 7- pito into “tet/cit/tu”, 8- walo into “madu”, 10- sampu/ sepulu into “sap or put”.
    While other Tai Kadai languages sounds more Chinese, or Sino-Tibetan maybe, I just dont know how they say numbers 1-10 in Chinese & Sino-Tibetan or Burmese, it may have influenced them as a region since its beside to them when Yunnan is also a province in China, at the foothills of Tibet and they share Western borders to Myanmar.

    Based on reconstructed Proto-Kra-Dai and recognizing innovations in Formosan languages to the numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 as well as other innovations that should have been after the PAN and not the PAN itself, Sagart concluded that Proto-Kra-Dai was a sister language of Proto-Malayo-Polynesian, perhaps having left Taiwan just slightly earlier than those who left for the Luzon island.

      I think they are the remnants of Austronesian in South China then they migrated Westward into Yunnan.
      While the Austronesian went out early out of Southeast China around 5,000 years ago to populate the Archipelagos in Southeast Asia, Micronesia & Polynesia in Pacific, sailing to as far as Alaska in North America, Easter Island in South America, and Madagascar in East Africa. The footprint markers are all in numbers 1-10.

And the Vietnamese would love to make Vietic spread from Red River Delta to Yangtze Delta in their propaganda.

    I do not think this is very accurate, Kra-Dai almost certainly had a much wider distribution throughout southeastern China, roughly corresponds to the various Yue groups in the Old Chinese records. For example, Kam corresponds to Kan, an alternative name for Jiangxi region, and a Yue group named "Kan" in Old Chinese used to live in that exact area. Kam people might have at least at some point inhabited the Jiangxi area. Also, it is widely agreed that Kra-Dai is related to Austronesian, sometimes grouped together with Austronesian.

      Yes, this video does have a lot of errors, especially the omission of the ancient Chu state's Kra-Dai connections. However, I haven't heard that the Austro-Tai hypothesis is "widely agreed" upon.

      It seems that most lean towards there being an Austro-Tai relationship. And that's strictly based on linguistics, not taking other evidence into account. Are there any legit rebuttals to Austro-Tai? Imho, the mainstream accepted the relationship and the main contention now is whether they're sister branches or Kra-Dai is a daughter of Austronesian.

      But Tai-Kradai languages of today has lost many features that define Austronesian such as the addition of tones, monosyllable, etc

      @@user-yv2nu5kf5j Tonogenesis can actually occur really fast. Look up the Tsat language on iLoveLanguages channel. It's one of a few tonal Austronesian languages and is spoken on Hainan Island. It branched off from Cham or Malay and sounds a bit like Wu Chinese to me. Also, a recent piece published by Oxford and written by a University of Melbourne professor (Yongxian Luo) from their top-ranked linguistics dept. wrote 'The ultimate genetic affiliation of Kra-Dai remains controversial, although a consensus among western scholars holds that it belongs under Austronesian'. It's in their encyclopedia section or something under 'The Kra-Dai Languages'

      @@user-yv2nu5kf5j One of my favorite cognates shared by proto-Tai, proto-Austronesian, and proto-Austroasiatic is the word for 'eyes'. 'Look me in the eyes!' is said when we do not want to lose any of the messages a person's gaze sends us. It's 'the window to the soul'

    I am tai ahom North East India

      Majority of the modern Ahoms are actually Morans, Chutiyas etc, who got absorbed into the Ahom kingdom & identity themselves as Ahom. Only 9000 Tai men and few women arrived in Assam, & majority of Ahom are not descendants of those 9000 men.
      DNA test of Ahom population proves that they have high HbE frequency, which is a trait of native mongoloid population of Assam. Whereas Tai population in the East Asian countries have almost no HbE frequency.
      And if you want proof then check the answer of Himprabal Singha on Quora, he replied to the question (Are Ahoms Assamese?) there he have showed the proof. There he have showed the Haplogroup frequency of the natives of Assam.
      HbE means Haplogroup by the way.
