Island Lombok - one of the best resort islands of Indonesia! It is the small island located near to Bali and island Sumbawa, island of amazing contrasts and contradictions. Today we will in detail tell about it.

Lombok often compare with its well-known for the neighbour – island Bali. About Lombok say, that it is Bali without its culture and beauty that is not absolutely fair since landscapes of Lombok with its jungle and thickets, coral islands and long pure beaches are not less fine.

At hot July night prince Siddhartha Gautama left a patrimonial palace for a long time to leave Kapilavastu, whether and in it it is a high time in ten thousand from Kapilavastu, in southern limits Celestial because of a ridge of foggy mountains the tribes speaking in the, special language have seemed.

So the legend, anyway, says.

Whence actually there was a Thai language and it belongs to which language family, precisely anybody till now does not know. Linguists, as a rule, pay attention to a significant amount of Chinese loans used in Thai language. Partially for this reason Thai language or «phasa thaj» sometimes carry to the Chinese-Tibetan language group.

Like Chinese, Thai language is tonovym; tone carries out in it smyslorazlichitelnuju function. In official Thai language five tones are used, but in some regional dialects the quantity of tones can reach seven. The majority of words consist of one syllable; words are not declined and do not change on sorts or cases. The same word depending on the place in the offer can act in a role of a noun, an adjective, a verb or an adverb.

The Thai alphabet created in 1283 by King Ramkamhengom on the basis of khmer and Indian analogues, superficially resembles both the khmer letter, and Sanskrit devanagari.
