Korat Thai people call themselves {{transl|tha|italic=no|Tai Berng}} (ไทยเบิ้ง), {{transl|tha|italic=no|Tai Derng}} (ไทยเดิ้ง), or {{transl|tha|italic=no|Tai Korat}} ({{lang-th|ไทยโคราช}}; {{rtgs|thai khorat}}). Other tribes in northern Thailand also refer to them by those names.{{CN|date=July 2017}} Theories of the origin of the name {{transl|tha|italic=no|Tai berng}} are:
Thai Khorat people have their own traditions and cultures called Khorat culture, which is similar to the culture of Thai people on the central plain, but their own unique words, dialect, costumes, songs, and beliefs are different from the rest of the Tai-speaking peoples. In spite of their Isan domicile, populated by northeast Thai speakers, the Khorat Thai speak Central Thai.[1] Their fluency in the official Thai language means has meant that the group does not appear on official lists of ethnic groups in Thailand.[2] PopulationIn 1999, an estimated 10,000 Khorat Thai lived in Thailand.[2]{{RP|8}} The population mainly inhabits two villages, Ban Nung Thap Prang and Ban Nong Samrong, both in the Chok Chai District about 20 kilometres (12 miles) south of the provincial capital. About 4,000 Khorat Thai live in each village. A few thousand Khorat Thai live in smaller villages in and around Nakhon Ratchasima City.[3] In addition to Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thai Khorat also inhabit adjacent provinces:{{CN|date=July 2017}}
HistoryThe Khorat Thai can be traced back at least to the late-18th century, when King Narai of the Ayutthaya Kingdom ordered a new city built as the eastern fortress of his kingdom. This was the origin of Nakhon Ratchasima city. The city thus marked the boundary between Ayutthaya and the Lao regions. The Khorat Thai are closely related to the Thai people. Some claim they are descended from Thai soldiers who married Khmer women,[4] though evidence proving this is lacking.
