The Nyah Kur language is an Austroasiatic language spoken by a remnant of the Mon people of Dvaravati, the Nyah Kur people, who live in present-day Thailand. It is known as ''Chao-bon'' ((タイ語:ชาวบน)) in Thai. ==Distribution== Nyah Kur is spoken by a few thousand people in the central and northeastern provinces (Sidwell 2009:113-114). According to Premsrirat (2002), there are 4,000 to 6,000 speakers of Nyah Kur, the vast majority living in Chaiyaphum Province. The northern dialects of Phetchabun Province are highly endangered. ;Southern dialects *Chaiyaphum Province *Nakhon Ratchasima Province (Dan Khun Thot, Pak Thong Chai, and Khon districts) ;Northern dialects *Phetchabun Province (Ban Thaduang, etc.) *Phitsanulok Province (Nakhon Thai district) The northern-southern bipartite classification is from Theraphan L-Thongkum's 1984 multi-dialectal Nyah Kur dictionary. However, Gerard Diffloth considers Nyah Kur to be made up of three dialects, namely North, Central, and South. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nyah Kur language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
