At that time, the ancestors of modern Thai people were known as Hundred [meaning various] Yue tribes, and had oral tradition, but without written tradition. During that time, there were relatively few people interspersed in a vast area of wilderness in southern China, extending as far north as the Yangtze River and as far south as the Pearl River. The earliest well-known written recording of the Kra-dai languages, which include the modern Thai language, is called the Song of the Yue Boatman, which was written over 2500 years ago in the state of Chu of southern China. The Kra-Dai pronunciations of the Song of the Yue Boatman were approximated by Old Chinese characters. The Kra-Dai meaning of the Song of the Yue Boatman was also translated into Old Chinese.
