Thanks for sharing! I think it's important to emphasize that the Isan area speaks Lao because that area used to be part of the former Lan Xang kingdom (which consisted of modern-day Laos + northeastern Thailand), which is why the food, architecture, dress, culture, and language is nearly identical. In the Isan region, they still celebrate traditional dances and rituals from Lan Xang, and the Faculty of Fine Arts at Khon Kaen University does a great job at showcasing this!

It is nice hearing Laos' name pronounced properly in this video, I must complain that many people pronounce Laos' name as "Lao" which it is not (in English)! There used to be three kingdoms of Lao people therefore the current country is named "Laos". If you're obsessed with trying to feel cultured then call it the "Lao country", not just "Lao"

They do that because of economic perspective. Once upon a time, both countries used to have the exact same GDP per capita. Now, even Thailand is already ahead of the Philippines in terms of economy and many other aspects. However, both countries still target the same thing: tourism. Both countries have tropical beaches.Lady Boy/ Retirement / free country etc. On the other hand, Laos is far behind Thailand snd Phillipines in every sector. People who travel to Thailand might cross over to Laos since Bangkok is the aviation hub in the region, not the other way around.

Live in Thailand long time and haven't visited Laos for decades but I do recall it being easy to communicate in Vientiane and Luang Prabang in thai as all Lao watch thai TV and listen to thai music.

Importantly, when Vientiane people speak in every places of Laos, everyone will understand easily. in contrast way, if Lao language from some part of the north, or south. it would be a bit difficult to some people who doesn't know lao language.

Lao is a language that all Tais speak ---> Please be updated. We have tons of evidence of Thai dictionary/ records that include academics words (Science, history, Law, Medicine, etc.). While Lao dictionaries before the year 2000 are only for spoken language. And you adopted academics words that Thais make an effort to translate by ourselves and never give credits to Thai and keep denying the influence of Thai media. For example, Lao dictionary in 2010 (can't remember the exact year) mentions orange = Si Mak Kiang. I wanna know if Laotians still use Si Mak Kiang nowadays or use Si Som like Thais?

Tai-Kadai is just a make up name. The real truth behind the word Tai doesn’t mean anything other than people or group of people. Therefore Tai can not be tribe, ethnic or race IMO.

It is the same language but with different accents. I speak both

I study Thai for about 2 years and I can read Lao without studying it. They seem similar, but it seems like Thai is a more polite language than Lao. I'm studying Lao on my own and I like that I don't have to say Kap or krap everytime I speak. Great job at analyzing the two languages!

Everyone have their own opinion about this subject. I understand Thai without even learning it from school nor Thai TV , but from my parents. They always spoke Lao to me. I grew up in the states without having the Lao - Thai community. Our languages are similar, but quite different as well depends on your dialect and region you came from.

Linguistically, the Thai and Lao languages can be said that they are the same language. Both Thais and Laotians can understand mutually. The differences of both are the accents and some words. Nowadays, the "so-called" Lao language is getting much influenced by the Thai language by Thai media and entertainment. The formal Lao words (almost 100%) are basically derived from Thai words, so at present, there are no difficulties for the Thais in understanding the Lao accent in communication. Due to the political reason, the Laotian governors pronounce that their country uses their "own" language so-called "the Lao language" to differentiate it from the Thai language. Talking about the two countries' alphabets, the Lao alphabets are the simplified prototype of the Thai alphabets. It does not take long time to read Lao writings, if you can read Thai. In short, the Lao language does not EXIST as in reality, it is one of the various accents of the Thai language or a dialect of the Thai language. Its accent is quite similar to Thailand's Isan (Northeast) region.

Laos and Thailand have similar cultural and historical backgrounds, so the languages of the two countries are similar in many ways, especially spoken language. However, Thai people can understand Lao language less than the extent to which Laotians can understand Thai. This is perhaps thanks to the economic and family relationships of the two Peoples, as well as the influence of Thai media; for example, most Lao people can have access to Thai TV channels, radios, social media, etc. Since my children were born, they've been watching Thai dramas and other TV programs, so they can automatically listen and speak Thai fluently, but my children can't write in Thai, but they can read it 😀

Tai and Laos languages are much similar than Thai languages because Tai/Lao people been living together way longer before Thailand and Laos become a country.

My mother said she can't communicate with Thai people. There's a difference but may take time to translate.

Laotians adopted Central Thai and Thai academic words to be used in their academics and they have been keeping up with Thai media over decades. While Thai rarely have exposure to their media. Lao language don't have standard accent, that's there's no audio on google translate in Lao language. Their dictionaries before the year 2000 are for spoken language. You should give credits to Thais more since we have made an effort to translate new English words on our own.

I can understand Tai Kadai language. Sipsongbanna's Autonomous region in southern China, and I didn't study at all. lol 😂😂😂

The R sound is a Khmer accent or adaptation, the more original sound is the H sound, such as in Northen and northeastern Thailand, which all other Tai groups use. Lao is the more original sound whereas Thai is a mix of Lao and Khmer. . If you study the linguist Dr David K Wyatt, he traces the different Thai dialects, for instance the dialect that was spoken in Sukothai is a dialect that comes from Luangprabang where as the dialect that was spoken during Ayutthaya is a dialect that came from Xiengkhouang Northen Laos. The ayutthaya dialect slowly transformed to modern Thai language. And if you visit regions like the Shan state, Lue state(China), Northwest Vietnam, even in northern Thailand you will see they sound very familiar or indistinguishable to Lao language. Perhaps these groups spoke so similar and Thai/Siamese diverged more significantly, Ayuthaya chronicles blankly referred to all those groups as just being all Lao.

It's normal. Thai language is also influenced by English like Romantic Alien😂

That's a southern lao accent It's very close to the Isan accent.

Thanks

similar to Spainish and Portuguese

Language translators use 24:02 more Thai vocabulary Until it's almost the same word Actually, they're not the same. But because Laos uses Thai media such as watching Thai television channels Listen to Thai radio Therefore, they have developed language to use almost all Thai words, such as the word saw [Hen in Thai] in Lao is Por / the word bag [Krapao, Tung in Thai] in Lao is Tai or sob / basket [Takra in Thai] in Lao is katho / dangerous curve [Kong un ta rai] in Lao is kong bon pen ta yan / walk [Dern in Thai] in Lao is yang / run [wing in Thai] in Lao is lan / speak [Pud in Thai] Lao is wow. / will [Ja in thai]Lao is si [not ja ] These are just a few examples.

Thanks for your input.

When before loas state in thai isaan

Yes, Thai & Lao language is the same as English in US & UK .

Laos and Thailand are just neighboring countries. Many Lao people have hatred for Thailand. Now many Thai people have changed their good feelings towards Laos to indifference.

ฉันคนไทยมีเชื้อสายลาว แต่ฉันรักสถาบันพระมหากษัตริย์ฉันมีนิสัยไม่เหมือนคนลาวทั่วไป คนลาวทั่วไปชอบบ่นชอบตำหนิทุกสิ่งทุกอย่าง พวกเขาชอบผู้นำที่เป็นเผด็จการ แต่ตัวฉันไม่ชอบฉันชอบ thai king เพราะฉันเป็นอิสระจะนับถือศาสนาอะไรก็ได้ จะเพศไหนก็ไม่มีใครมาว่า ฉันจะไปร้านสะดวกซื้อหรือขับรถไปโรงพยาบาลเวลาตีสองก็ได้ถ้าฉันหิวหรือป่วยและตราบใดที่ฉันปกป้องตัวเองจากโจรได้ฉันก็ไปได้ทุกที่

The Thai language has the Bangkok accent and the accents of surrounding provinces in the central region are not the same.

I don't know for sure that Lao and Thai are brothers but in term of language speaking Lao people understand Thai language more than Thai people understand lao language.

You are so good philosophy

Same North Korea and South Korea😢😢😢

King Rama I burned down Vientiane bring the Emeral Buddha to Bangkok and relocated people from Lan Xang (Loas) to Thailand. Lan Xang was left empty, so people from Vietnam moved in and influenced the culture and language. A high percentage of Laos people are of Vietnamese descent nowadays being communist comrade isnt coincident,Lao accent is influenced by Vietnamese. Despite being different languages, as a central Thai person, I understand the Lao language better than some Isan dialects and Southern Thai so call dialect if they really speak it all in their local word I wouldnt understand a bit. It seems like I could understand Southern Thai, but I actually don't.

Are you Thai? You don't know about the Emerald Buddha. King Lanchang (Laos) was a relative of King Lanna (Chiang Mai). Lanchang asked to borrow the Emerald Buddha. So he had to send it back.

The last Lao king and his royal family were taken away by the Lao communists...nothing left. But the Lanna Chiang Mai royal family is still living well in Thailand.

I’m Lao and people tell me I look Vietnamese. The other week I was at the Wat eating, another Lao man came over and asked if I was Lao. This is a Lao Wat. I have Vietnamese ask me if I am viet. My mother and father tell me I’m full Lao. But maybe beyond my grandparents may have Viet blood. My family gets mistaken for Hawaiian or Philippine as well.

Thai and Lao are brothers and sisters.

Most Lao people consider Thai people as brothers and sisters. Of course, you're going to find a small group of Lao people who don't like Thai people, just like how a group of Thai people don't like Lao people. You will find love and hate between neighboring countries throughout the world. Can't make a generalization based on a particular group of people.

If you can speak lao, then you will automatically understand and speak thai or vice versa.

Very Similar. They say their Numbers exactly same way also very similar to Khmer, but different accent.
