Which ethnic group is the Tai? Where did you come from?
The Tai people are an ethnic group originating from Southeast Asia, primarily associated with the Tai-Kadai language family. They are predominantly found in countries such as Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and parts of southern China. The Tai people have a rich cultural heritage and are known for their distinct languages, traditions, and social structures.
Historically, the Tai people are believed to have migrated from southern China, particularly from the region around the Yangtze River, into Southeast Asia over several centuries. This migration led to the establishment of various Tai-speaking kingdoms and communities throughout the region. Today, the largest group within the Tai ethnic group is the Thai people, who make up the majority of the population in Thailand. Other notable groups include the Lao, Shan, and Z
