One of the more annoying nomenclature problems in the world of language is that of the Tai (sometimes called "Thai") language family, whose most prominent member is Thai (sometimes called "Tai").
The two English words are both from the self-designation of T(h)ai-speakers; the orthographic distinction is basically a convenient device to differentiate language and family, although it also reflects the fact that the name is pronounced in some languages with an aspirated t and in some with an unaspirated one.
