The Laotian Sinh – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

We hope everyone had a relaxing and productive Wellness Day. Now on with the show!! For Day 6 of our APAHM Cultural Fashion Display we have Jacqueline, a first year student modeling a traditional Sinh or phaa sin paired with gold accessories and plumeria flower hair piece. The Sinh is a wraparound skirt made up of three parts, the Hua sinh, Phuen sinh, and Tin sinh. It is typically made of silk or cotton, hand woven with foot looms and decorated with exquisite, colorful patterns. This can tell you a lot about the social status of the wearer. The weaving techniques of the Sinh also differ across regions of Laos, which showcases the cultures of the multi-ethnic country. Women can be seen wearing the Sinh at Laotian ceremonies. ��☀️�

Linguistic Source: Bilingua – Lao Language – Why does it get confused with Thai?
*After conducting a lot of research, it turned out to be quite difficult finding songs in Lao. The song in this video is sung in Thai and was included in a playlist of the most popular songs in Laos. In fact, the two languages are linguistically similar, though their writing script varies a bit. Thai is the native language of Thailand and is spoken in Cambodia and Laos. The two languages, Lao and Thai depict many similarities mainly because both belong to the Tai-Kadai language family. If you know any Laotian music, let us know in the comments! 🙂
