The 'Monic languages' are a branch of the
Austro-Asiatic language family descended from the Old Monic language of the kingdom of
Dvaravati in what is now central Thailand. The Nyahkur people continue directly from that kingdom, whereas the Mon are descendants of those who migrated to
Pegu after the 11th century Khmer conquest of Dvaravati.
