Hi, Khun Amara:
Thank you very much for passing me Betty's interesting description on
the Mon. It is in fact a couple of articles from the Journal of Siam Society
that taught me a few things about the Mon. (Our library has a copy of
the Journal.) I am very pleased to hear that they have been doing
their best to keep their language alive. A language is probably the
most important part of the cultural identity in our society.
Here, I would like to thank Betty.

P.S. I also didn't know that 'jeen' in 'kanom jeen' was borrowed from
Mon.
