- Idioma mon
-
El idioma mon es un idioma austroasiático hablado por el pueblo mon, que habitan en Birmania y Tailandia. El mon a diferencia de la mayoria de los idiomas en el sudeste asiático, no es de tipo tonal. Actualmente el mon es hablado por menos de un millón de personas.[1] En épocas recientes el uso del mon ha ido en rápido declive, especialmente entre las nuevas generaciones.[1] Muchos mon étnicos solo hablan birmano. En Burma, la mayoría de los que hablan mon viven en Mon State, Tanintharyi Division y Kayin State.[2]
La escritura mon se deriva de la grafía Brahmi india y es la fuente del alfabeto birmano.
