Moken Language
The Moken language is a member of the Austronesian language family, primarily spoken by the Moken people, a group of sea nomads residing in the coastal regions of Myanmar and Thailand. This language is characterized by its unique phonetic features and vocabulary, which reflect the Moken's maritime lifestyle and cultural practices.
Moken is an endangered language, with a declining number of speakers due to modernization and the influence of dominant languages like Thai and Burmese. Efforts are being made to preserve the language and culture of the Moken people, highlighting the importance of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.
