Thai Language And Thai Culture

To start, the Sumerians invented cuneiform, which began the path to written language in the future. Cuneiform was the first written language. It was invented over 5000 years ago! (Doc. 1). They used a stylus to make imprints for writing. Written on the clay tablets it was used to keep records, document business

The people of Vietnam consist of approximately 54 different ethnic groups. Most of the ethnic minorities live in the hills of central highlands and are indigenous people.

The Jarai tribe is one of the largest ethnic minority group and one of the oldest tribes of Vietnam.

The communication technology of writing is thought to have emerged in Sumer, southern Mesopotamia, from 3500 -3000 BCE. This form of writing was Cuneiform, which consists of making specific marks in clay with a reed tool. Cuneiform was invented due to the long distance communication needed for trade. Meanwhile, the writing system of the Egyptians, or Hieroglyphics, was in use before 3150 BCE. Although disputed, hieroglyphics are thought to be based on cuneiform. Therefore, cuneiform is the first written language that we know.

Writing really emerged separately in three regions independently of one another. Those regions are Central and South America, Mesopotamia, and Asia. It is generally accepted that writing (Cuneiform) came about in Mesopotamia as a means of documenting transactions and keeping track of merchandises.

From there individuals understood that if you could represent numbers in writing, then you could as well characterize

Although there are tons of different cultures around the world, the Vietnamese culture has always been very intriguing. People may define culture differently, in this case, culture refers to the population, geography, structure, people, and so much more. Given the history, both past and present, with the Americans and the Vietnamese, understanding their culture, geography, weather, and their everyday lives is important.

The Sumerians developed the first known writing system. The Sumerians came from Mesopotamia. They came from the southernmost region of ancient Mesopotamia, called Sumer.

I’m originally Thai. Most Thai people do not have much opportunity to stay abroad. Luckily, I have had a chance to live in numerous countries, such as the Netherlands, Germany, Japan and the United States. However, I have resided in Thailand and the United States for the longest time. Thailand and the United States are very different countries, but the most obvious contrasts are the climate, the culture, and the educational opportunities of each country.

Mesopotamia and Egypt developed advanced systems of writing, starting with simple pictographs and move to advanced letters. Mesopotamian writing began as a wedge-shaped characters, a system that is called cuneiform. Egypt originally used hieroglyphics.

Many reasons make us be a Thainese. For me,maybe have 2 main reasons. It's not on time and imagining things because in this period, many Thainese have got these behaviors.

One might say Thais are too shy to speak another language because it’s not their native language while others say Thais are just afraid of foreigners. (Plaiilek, 2011). This might stem from the fact that Thais are commonly taught that Westerners or people from other countries are a different kind of people, which creates a huge barrier toward private contacts (Klinchang, 2009). Thais often call foreigners “Farang”. (Dalgado, 1919) Thais call dark skin people from other countries as “Kaak” especially Indians and “Jek” for Chinese guys which means strangers. (Sujit Wongthes,

Indians are the group of people who receive a lot of stereotypes in Thailand. Ranging from public places like shopping centers, parties house, hall way, to university campus, we can notice that many Thai people try to avoid staying close to or interact with Indians. One of the stereotype Thai people have toward Indians include viewing Indians as a snake charmer, which give images of ancient and exotic group of people. There is a famous joke in Thai circles that, "If a snake and an Indian come after to attack you, you should hit the Indian first, then snake." This reflects that some Thais view Indian as more tricky and dangerous than a snake. Another reason why Thai people like to think of Indian people negatively is due to the not so good reputation of their county, India. Many still view India as a country full of poverty and chaos. Some Thai even get into thinking that Indians are from another world with different culture, and mind set, thus, are not acceptable and tend to isolate them from Thai sociality. In my own experience, there was a day when I was trying to get a cab to home, it was a long line of people waiting for a cab, and there were two passengers standing at the head of the line, one was Thai and another is an Indian person. One of the cab arrive already riding Indians passengers, but when the Thai women saw the cab was previously sat by other Indians, the Thai person refuse to sit that cab. The second passage on the line, who is an Indian woman she was
