Page "Thai numerals" Paragraph 1
from
Wikipedia
The Thai language lacks grammatical number.
A count is usually expressed in the form of an uninflected noun followed by a number and a classifier.
" Five teachers " is expressed as " teacher five person " ( or with the numeral included.
) " person " is a type of referent noun that is also used as the Thai part of speech called a linguistic classifier, or measure word.
Variations to this pattern do occur, and there really is no hierarchy among Thai classifiers.
