Abstract

This academic article will demonstrate the phenomenon of language contact in Thai society. Currently, the economic city populations worldwide engage with multiple languages. The interplay between these languages in daily interactions leads to language phenomena such as code-switching and code-mixing—various factors, including war, immigration, politics, and trade drive language contact. In Thai society, language contact has been ongoing since the Sukhothai to Ayutthaya periods in terms of migration and trade continuing to the present time in the new social factors. Historical evidence indicates a pattern of foreign language integration into Thai and the acquisition of foreign languages. Presently, Thais exhibit multilingual tendencies that these languages have influenced each other such as the Bangkok language, regional languages, and foreign languages. Language contact causes changes in the Thai language, similar to all living languages worldwide having been changed.
