Awami Ulama League (Islamic wing) wants child marriage in Bangladesh

I have found Tamil scripts look very similar to Thai scripts. Any connection between them? Wikipedia states, they both evolved from Tamil-brahmi script.

@Nilgiri

Just to lure you on to one of those delectable notes from you: you know anything about Tai? Specifically,

• Khamti
• Tai Phake
• Tai Aiton
• Khamyang
• Tai Ahom

There are similar things in Buddhist temple in China. These are apparently sacred words in Buddhism I found in Chinese source. The last line is the Chinese pronunciation (in the closest possible way) that tries to preserve the original sound as much as possible.

Indeed, I have to deeply explore China at some point. I only been to a few cities and the more famous touristy destinations.

I believe these are Tai tribes in North East India?

Is their language well connected to the Siamese people out of interest?

I think they all migrated from Yunnan area in China originally....there was a language map of Asia I had way back (in an Atlas) and "Tai" was its own separate language family....Thailand was a big blotch of it and there were smaller spots dotted around region iirc.

There are village names that translate direct into 'Siamese'.

Some (at least two, out of the total of six) languages have local names that translate into Shyam, or Siam.

Until the 17th century, Ahom was a living language. Now, with the Ahom having adopted Assamese, an Indo-European language descended from Magadhi Prakrit, these originally Tai/Siamese languages have almost died out in speech, although prolific written records remain.

This is almost exactly the analogue of what must have happened elsewhere, in the Ganges-Yamuna Valley, and in the Indus Valley, starting sometime during the middle of the second millennium BC (I'd say 1500 BC to 1200 BC). The older Dravidian languages were simply abandoned, but contributed to the new-fangled language's lexicon. evolved ways to

The Indian economist I have a crush on right now is Gita Gopinath ...she's married though, so it will have to be just a cup of tea and a chat if I am so lucky.

Yep I believe the Greeks, Egyptians, Turks and many others have also been demanding at various times and in various ways for their stuff back.
