Language and Literature
Thai people are proud of their language and writing system since they are an intehral part of the culture and a medium to pass on cultural heritage. Language is also regurded as a "mirror" of cultural elements such as social systems, lifestyles, worldviews, beliefs, social values, etc. For example, the old saying "fish in the water rice in the fields" and "eat rice and fish" reflect the environmental abundance, economic subsistence, and cultural lifestyle of the central Thais whose staple is rice and fish.
The combination of language and ideas or imagination often evolves into oral and written literature. Literature serves distinctive purposes and it is expressed in various forms. It plays a significant role in human life, from childhood lullabies and games to folktales, work songs, boat songs, and even religious tales and Buddhist sermons.
The Kings, royal family, and the nobility have a more refined literature. Many Thai monarchs were the onselves patrons of poets and artists, and some were great writers and composers themselves. Certain forms of literature express and confirm the elevated status of the soverign and instill strong ethics and loyalty among those under his reign.
A good dead of literature has religious themes and didactic overtones with the aim of creating a peaceful society.
