"Languages spoken" means the language that persons in the household use in regular conversations. The language used may be differed from other speaking languages that is used by the household members when speaking to other persons, or it can be the same language.

Again, if the basic language is the same, consider the language spoken as counted for the basic language only. For example, the Northern dialect (excluding the hill tribe language), southern dialect (excluding the Malay and Yavee languages), Northeastern dialect (excluding Suai dialect and Khemer language): all of these dialects are counted as Thai language. The Hakka, Mandarin, Cantonese are counted as Chinese language, etc.

For other languages not counted as Thai languages, they must be clearly specified, such as the Karen, Moung, Malayan and Yavee languages.

The question that should be asked is: "What is the language that people in this household regularly speak?" Then it should be recorded as:

[] 1 Thai language only

Record code "1" in the LAGE-SPEAK check box

[] 2 Thai and Chinese

Record code "2" in the LAGE-SPEAK check box. Also record other languages spoken in the space provided

[] 3 Other languages but not using Thai
