Tia in Thai shares a surprising connection with the Turkish word Ata, meaning "father"

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Did you know เตี่ย /tìa/ in Thai, used to address fathers among Sino-Thai people, shares a surprising connection with the Turkish word 'ata', meaning 'father'? Both words trace their origins back to *ata in Proto-Turkic. This term journeyed through Old Chinese as *tjaː, then Southern Min as 'tia', before settling into Thai as เตี่ย /tìa/. This linguistic link showcases a fascinating historical and cultural connection spanning continents.
