About Thai language

The official language of Thailand, Thai, also known as Siamese Thai, is a member of the Tai-Kadai branch of the Tai Language family of Southeast Asia. Siamese Thai is based on the variety of Thai spoken by the educated classes in Bangkok and is spoken by around 20 million people. Nonetheless, numerous dialects and variations of Thai exist, which, when included, increase the number of speakers to approximately 60 million. There are also multiple languages related to Thai spoken in Thailand. For instance, a related language called the “Isan language” is used in the Northeastern parts of Thailand near Laos. Around 20 million people speak this language in Laos and Thailand, and it is informally known as “Lao”. Often, Lao is mutually intelligible with Thai, and the two have very similar scripts.

Bankgkok dialect

Most speakers of other forms of Siamese Thai or its related languages also speak the Bangkok dialect, used in schools, institutions, and the media nationwide.

Like Chinese, Thai is a tonal language. It uses mid, low, falling, high, and rising tones, which completely alter the meaning of words that appear identical. There are 21 consonant sounds and nine vowel-like sounds distinguishable in Thai.

Although it completely lacks the quality of inflexion, Thai has a number of registers used in various social contexts – these are Common Thai; Formal/Elegant Thai; Rhetorical Thai; Religious Thai and Royal Thai, which are taught to children in schools.

Thai Script

Thai script is beautiful to look at. Like Khmer (the official language of Cambodia), it is to be of Southern Indic (Indian) origin. Interestingly, most Thai words are loan words from PÄli, Sanskrit and Old Khmer. When you write Thai, you write from left to right. Spaces are for punctuation and do not indicate word separation.

There is no unified method of transcribing Thai script into Latin alphabet, which accounts for many variations in the spelling of Thai words – something particularly noticeable in Thai restaurants.

Just like any other nation, Thailand has its business etiquette. See our Doing Business in Thailand page to learn more.

What forms of interpreter services can TJC Global provide?

Dutch arbitration interpeter video

Video/videoconference interpreting: (Video remote interpreting is also available) TJC provides language interpreting services to support events such as business meetings, conferences, legal/court/arbitration/litigation, and other online business interactions in the industry.

Participants can communicate via video or voice calls using computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc. These can be recorded should you wish to take minutes. Our professionally qualified interpreters can join your online virtual meeting, event, or proceeding, for example, and interpret remotely in the language pairing you require to facilitate smooth communication between all parties. They also provide relay interpreting.

Telephone interpreting Dutch arbitration

Telephone/teleconference interpreting is a practical way to bridge any language barriers. The interpreter is either located remotely (away from either party) or is with one of the parties. In both cases, they deliver interpreting services through telephone conferencing.

Telephone interpretation is helpful for clients who cannot travel to their counterparts’ countries but still wish to hold business discussions or communicate progress updates. At TJC Global, we are pleased to provide professionally qualified interpreters in almost any selected language combination.

Simultaneous & Consecutive interpreting

Simultaneous interpreting

Simultaneous interpreting (also available with Video Remote Interpretation (VRI))

is used for international conferences, critical business discussions, seminars & symposiums. In this case, two to three interpreters are usually situated in a booth, away from the audience, and take turns to interpret at high speed, changing over every 15-20 minutes to avoid fatigue and the lack of concentration, which affect the quality of interpretation.

The interpreters listen to the speaker’s message using headsets and repeat it immediately (practically “simultaneously”) in the target language to benefit relevant audience members. They also provide relay interpreting, which is helpful if the speakers give presentations in several languages.

Consecutive interpreting

Consecutive interpreting (also available with Video Remote Interpretation (VRI)) is the most common type. It is used for business discussions, negotiations, contract exchanges, commercial, legal and technical meetings, medical or court hearings, or on-site inspections or audits. The interpreter listens to the speaker, often making notes, and later delivers the meaning in the target language.

The interpreter may wait until a pause or the end, at which point they deliver a translation relatively quickly. Consecutive interpreting may also be used at conferences for panel discussions, Q&A sessions or private discussions between parties – at a stand or elsewhere.
