k) Language used in conversation among household members
Spoken language means the language in which the persons in the household use for regular conversations. This language may or may not be different from the language that the household members speak to other persons. If the basic language is the same, count only the basic language as the spoken language. For example, the Northern dialect (excluding the hill tribe language), southern dialect (excluding the Malay and Yavee languages), Northeastern dialect (excluding Suai dialect and Khemer language) are counted as Thai language. The Hakka, Mandarin, Cantonese are counted as Chinese language.
The question that should be asked is: "What is the language in which people in this household regularly speak?":
[] 1 If they speak the Thai language only [in column 31]
[] 2 If they speak the Thai language and another language [in column 31]
[] 3 If they speak another language without speaking Thai [in column 31]
If record Code 1, skip to Part 2, questions on demography.
If record Code 2 or Code 3, specify that other language.
