Language change after enter

Question

I am using Word 2016 on a Windows 10 HP notebook. I set my default editing language to Thai. When I type in Thai and press Enter to begin a new paragraph, the language changes to English. So when I want to add something to the end of the previous paragraph, I have to change the language to Thai again. 

I have changed both the display language and the help language to Thai, but that doesn't solve the problem. My Windows 10 location is Thailand and Thai is the first language on the language list.

Please see my Office language setting.

Please advise how to prevent this behavior.

Hi Thong Joon,

At the time you've set the default editing language to Thai and it goes back to English after pressing Enter to start a new paragraph, it's possible that a software conflict has occurred to the Word app. It could be the reason why the settings didn't retain.
