There are approximately 6 million Tai Yuan. Most of them live in Northern Thailand, with a small minority 29,442 (2005 census) living across the border in Bokeo and Sainyabuli Provinces of Laos. Their language is called Northern Thai, Lanna, or ''Kham Mueang''. == Exonym and endonym == Central Thai may call northern Thai people and their language Thai Yuan, probably derived from Sanskrit ''yavana'' meaning "stranger". In everyday speech, "Tai" prefixed to some location is understood as meaning "Tai person" of that place. The British colonial rulers in neighbouring Burma referred to them as "Siamese Shan", to distinguish them from the Shan proper, whom they called "Burmese Shan". The people of this ethnicity refer to themselves as ''khon mueang'', meaning "people of the (cultivated) land", "people of our community" or "society" (''mueang'' is a central term in Tai languages having a broad meaning, essential to the social structure of Tai peoples). With this name, they historically identified themselves as the inhabitants of the alluvial plains, river valleys, and plateaus of their native area, where they lived in local communities called ''mueang'' and cultivated rice on paddy fields. This distinguished them from the indigenous peoples of the area ("hill tribes"), like the Lua', who lived in the wooded mountains practicing slash-and-burn agriculture. Membership of the ethnicity was therefore defined by lifestyle rather than by genetics. At the same time, it was a term of dissociation from the Burmese and Siamese, who held suzerainty over the Lanna Kingdom for centuries and who were not "people of our ''mueang''". For the same reasons, the own name of the khon mueang for their language is ''kammuang'' or ''kham mueang'', in which ''kam'' means language or word; ''mueang'' town, hence the meaning "town language," in contrast to those of the many hill tribe peoples in the surrounding mountainous areas. 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「Northern Thai people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
