Southern Thai language
Encyclopedia : S : SO : SOU : Southern Thai language
Southern Thai (or Pak Dtai) is spoken by about 5 million people, mainly in Southern Thailand. It's part of the Tai family of languages. Mostly found in the 14 southern provinces, from Chumpon to Narathiwat, the language contains many words of Malay origin, in part because many of the speakers are Malay, or Pattani Malay, and because of its proximity to Malay-speaking regions.
