This current research paper takes a different perspective on the data and investigates endangerment and vitality issues related to the respective Tai Ya speech communities in Thailand. First aspects of the survey report are summarized: the Tai Ya are put into a geographical and linguistic context, and the results of the survey relevant to vitality are discussed. Then those vitality results are compared to other selected people groups in Thailand. Joshua Fishman's Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (GIDS), Crystal's language revitalization prerequisites, the UNESCO committee's proposed language vitality and endangerment assessment, and Lewis and Simons' Extended GIDS are used to help analyze the significance of the results. These four vitality models indicate that the Tai Ya language is endangered. However, several things could be done to enhance the vitality of the language. It is not a foregone conclusion that Tai Ya in Thailand will become extinct, but the next decade or so is a crucial time if Tai Ya is to reverse its language shift to Northern Thai. The vitality of Tai Ya is also compared to a similar assessment of the Mpi language that was published in Mon-Khmer Studies (Tehan and Nahhas 2009). An interlinearized narrative of Tai Ya collected and prepared by Julie Kletzing is appended as an example of the Tai Ya language},
