The above words can be translated as "Greetings to everyone, and welcome to Maehongson". The Shan or Thai Yai people of Mae Hong Son, who have a long and rich history, also have their own individual written language. The letters are similar to Northern Thai, or Lanna. There are a total of 17 consonants and many of the sounds made are similar to Thai. The spoken form of Shan sounds a little like Northern Thai, and Shan is still widely spoken throughout the Maehongson region.
