ภาษาพ่อแม่พี่หรอไงค้ะ

Can someone tell me what this means please?

The language of father, mother, elder siblings or how? (Spoken by female.)

It can be parsed in two ways:

1. Is that the language (an expression/phrase) of your parents? (for this interpretation, the person addressed would be a พี่ to the person making the statement).

2. As the previous poster suggested:

Is that the language of your parents and older siblings? (something your parents or older siblings would say?)

It could be used as a rebuke towards someone who has spoken rudely or used vulgar words. "Is that how your parents taught you to talk???"

Thanks folks

what does the ไง translates to? I have problem translating sentences which ends with just "ไง" without the ยัง before it.

I think it translates to "how".

Oops let me clarify. My dictionary tells me ยังไง is spoken 'how' and ไง is written 'how'.

Hopefully somebody more competent than myself can confirm this.

Here "rue ngai" means something like "or what?".

Do your parents use that kind of language, or what?

It just makes the question a little more aggressive.

My understanding is otherwise - ไง is simply a shortened, informal version of ยังไง - used more in spoken than in written language.

That makes more sense. After all why would the spoken form be longer?
