Kra-Dai languages, also known as Tai-Kadai languages, are a language family primarily spoken in southern China, Southeast Asia, and parts of northeastern India. Major languages in this family include Thai, Lao, Zhuang, and Kam. Kra-Dai languages are characterized by tonal distinctions, where the meaning of a word can change based on pitch, and they typically have a simple syllable structure. These languages exhibit features such as subject-verb-object word order and the use of classifiers. The study of Kra-Dai languages provides insights into the linguistic history of the region, the migration patterns of the peoples who speak them, and their cultural identities.
