    It is indeed an ethnic group, because the Dai people are distributed in Thailand and parts of Yunnan, so some Dai people migrated to Thailand in the past.

    It is the same ethnic group, and the Dai people are a widely distributed ethnic group, not only in China and Thailand, but also in many places in Southeast Asia.

    The language is not fully intelligible, it is equivalent to the relationship between the Yugoslavs and the Russians, not a people. Laotians and Thais are closer.

    The Dian people founded the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and over the next few thousand years, with the integration and migration of ethnic groups, some of the Dian people were assimilated by the Han Chinese, and the other part moved south to present-day Thailand. Around the time of the Southern Song Dynasty in China, the southward migration of the Yunnan people established a state in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and eventually formed the Tai ethnic group. The distribution of the Baiyue ethnic group is contiguous with little interruption:

    It stretches from Guangxi to Guizhou, then west to Yunnan, then into Laos and northern Myanmar, and south to the northern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Dai language communication + behavior and action, you can basically communicate. For Thailand, 60-70% of the Dai and Southern Thai people can have similar languages and communicate with each other; 30-40% of the language is similar to Beitaike, and communication can still be done by scratching your head.

    <>This is the origin of the name of the Dai people! At least 80% of the language is interoperable, because Thai has been influenced by English more in recent times! Many words are transliterated from English!

    Dai language is more quoted Chinese words! So there are some differences, but because of the long time, Dai and Thai can understand each other, but they can no longer communicate with each other. There is also a big difference between the national costumes and traditional dances of the Dai and Thai people.

    Yuxi region, Xishuangbanna prefecture, these two regions, Tai people, Thailand Tai people, 80% are the same, they can communicate with each other, Baoshan area, Chuxiong state, Dehong Yuan, Simao area, Lincang area, Tai people, 80% and Myanmar Tai people can communicate.

    Not to mention anything else, the Dai people in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province and the Dai people in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province have different languages, and they can't communicate in Dai language! The Dai people in Yunnan are distributed in Banna Prefecture, Dehong Prefecture, Honghe Prefecture, Lincang City, Baoshan City, and Chuxiong Prefecture, and the Dai languages in these prefectures and cities cannot communicate with each other, and in many areas they can only speak but not write. How can you understand the Thai language?

    The Dai people of Xishuangbanna, northern Thailand, northern Laos, and most of their local languages can communicate similarly, but some of the pronunciations are different.

    They speak each other's languages. The Dai and Thai people belong to the same ethnic group, and their local languages can be intertwined, and the Dai people can understand the Thai speech.

    Their language is not the same. The Dai people have a special Dai language, and the Thai people speak Thai, which is actually incomprehensible to each other, and the cultural differences are also very large.

    The Dai and the Thai people, the main ethnic group in Thailand, are one nation, and there are still some differences in the language between them, but the difference is only similar to the difference between dialects, and some pronunciations can still be understood.

    The Dai and Tai people are the same people, but they speak Hou with a different accent, but the voice is still the same.

    The languages are the same language, but whether they can be interconnected or not depends on whether the dialects are very different.
