What it is
The name, in the northern voice. The unaspirated initial is the first thing a listener notices, and the first thing this site's Thai pages do.
Root
เจียง chiang — a Tai word for a walled settlement, in Chiang Rai, Chiang Saen, Chiang Tung (Kengtung); ใหม่ mai, new. In Kam Mueang the initial is unaspirated, /tɕ/, so the city is Jiang Mai in its own mouth.
