@@HOTPLATEGAMING It's not that they added unnecessary things, it's just that lao removed them; they simplified the language and writing, like you said. Lao had many of the things that thai did, like having letters to represent pali and sanskrit words.

It is remarkable how Lao and Thai, being part of the same Tai-Kadai language family, are able to understand each other. What captivates me is the fact that the ancestors of Lao and Thai can be traced back to the Dai and Zhuang ethnic groups in southern China, which happen to be the second largest ethnic minority after the Han Chinese. Not only can Lao and Thai comprehend the Zhuang and Dai languages to a certain extent, but they can also engage in basic conversations with them. Additionally, Lao and Thai demonstrate understanding of the Tai ethnic groups in North Vietnam, the Shan in Myanmar, and the Tai Ahom in northeast India.

As a Thai living in Japan, who speaks Japanese and has some linguistic knowledge, I'd say that Thai and Lao are the same language since they have very strong mutual intelligibility (I was born and raised in Bangkok, and I can understand Lao pretty well. Meanwhile I have next to no clue what Southern Thai people are saying lol). The reason the two are officially different languages has more to do with them being spoken in different countries rather than linguistics itself. I would say Thai and Lao are very similar to how Kantoben and Kansaiben are :)

I'm a Filipino from Canada and I agree as a person not very familiar with these languages that they do sound similar even though they're clearly different from each other as one group is Tai-Kadai/Kradai and the other is Austroasiatic (one influenced by Chinese, the other by Sanskrit). If I am to distinguish each national language in East and Southeast Asia, I would have the hardest time distinguishing the mainland Southeast Asian countries.

Ngl as a heritage speaker of Vietnamese, the tonal languages definitely have a similar sound to them. Khmer sounds like the odd one out to me, though beautiful in its own right.

Thai people love pretending to be Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese. There are a lot of cognate vocabulary words shared between Thai and the Cambodian language.

For Vietnamese, one should used Northern Vietnamese from Ha Noi as it’s the original tone and language. We Southern Vietnamese speak like American but the Northern speak like the British as the original languages. Thai, Laos and Viet sound kind of similar. The standout one is Khmer which is original Southeast and influenced by Indians Culture. Thai and Laos are from one branch of ethnic but separated, while Viet are a mixture of Thai, Viet and Southern Yue People from ancient Baiyue people and also Han Chinese. Vietnamese call our ethnicity Kinh people meaning people from the city. city is where all people mingled together and slowly develop into a group of people and expand and influence the surrounding area and createa its own Kingdom and language. Viet language contain 60% of Chinese language especial from Cantonese.

All different if you judge on the accent sure they can be related because of geography, but judging on the language it's a complete different story, thai and viet is a tonal language khmer isn't, Khmer and Viet belong to the same family while Thai is tai-Kadai family. Both Thai and Viet has tons of vocabulary influence heavily by sino-tibetan language family ( for thai it's the tibetan influence for Viet it's the Chinese influence ) there fore these 3 language in the clip is different . Asia is big that's why language family can get mixed up form a new form and with many many varieties.

Vietnamese language is related or categorized to Mon-Khmer language family. It left the Mon-Khmer language group for more than two thousand years. Eventuality the language was influenced by other tribe’s Pai Yue means hundred tribes or in other word Nan Yue means southern tribes but the Han Chinese in northern called most of the tribes in southern Nan Man in Mandarin Chinese means Southern Barbarian. The Vietnamese language adapted the tones from those tribes including the Cantonese Chinese and Tais before the kingdom of Kinh/ Moung was under the Han Chinese controlled. The Han Chinese introduced the Dai Viet to write Han scripts and adopted Chinese culture. Of course most of the Chinese languages such as Mandarin, Shanghainese, Cantonese, Tau Chau and the Tai are monosyllabic languages. Therefore today Vietnamese language will sound very different from their long lost siblings such as Mon-Khmer and some other reasons that both of Mon-Khmer languages are still non tonal languages and were heavily influenced by the Pali/Sanskrit languages and of course those languages are non tonal languages as well. 😮

I'm quite sure there are loan words going in all directions; that's a consequence of historical evolution and the way in which close neighbours interact and borrow from each others languages and cultures.My point is there are enough similarities (possibly due to co-existance and after the Tai Kadai languages started to gain in prominence over the Mon- Khmer and other preexisting Austroasiatic languages) for there to be some helpful cross over for the average language learner (similar syntax and about 30% similar vocabulary but still very different. A useful analogy would be English and French whereas Thai and Lao are more like British English and American English ( more different than these really I think). The 30% similarity and syntax similarities may even have started soon after Angkor during the rise of Sukhotai or may even go back to earlier Pali Sanskrit inflence ? I only make the very basic observation that there are "enough" helpful similarities to be useful at a basic level. Phrases like "How are you", " Thank you" and words like "language, city, student, school, origin and family etc are all similar across Thai, Lao and Khmer. Stuart Jay Raj's channel provides some fascinating analysis of how all sorts of different languages have interesting connections even when they come from different language families. This link answers the immediate question better than I can. ling-app.com/th/thai-vs-cambodian/

Not really. I have said there are similarities not that they are similar. Thai and English may increasingly be exchanging vocabulary but the syntax and word order is very different. Its much harder to translate word for word especially when using idioms. But really interesting how many Thai words are finding there way into English (mainly food words)

Vietnamese language is related or categorized to Mon-Khmer language family. It left the Mon-Khmer language group for more than two thousand years. Eventuality the language was influenced by other tribe’s Pai Yue means hundred tribes or in other word Nan Yue means southern tribes but the Han Chinese in northern called most of the tribes in southern Nan Man in Mandarin Chinese means Southern Barbarian. The Vietnamese language adapted the tones from those tribes including the Cantonese Chinese and Tais before the kingdom of Kinh/ Moung was under the Han Chinese controlled. The Han Chinese introduced the Dai Viet to write Han scripts and adopted Chinese culture. Of course most of the Chinese languages such as Mandarin, Shanghainese, Cantonese, Tau Chau and the Tai are monosyllabic languages. Therefore today Vietnamese language will sound very different from their long lost siblings such as Mon-Khmer and some other reasons that both of Mon-Khmer languages are still non tonal languages and were heavily influenced by the Pali/Sanskrit languages and of course those languages are non tonal languages as well.

We Vietnamese are descendents of BaiYue ( Bac Viet) people. Baiyue (Bach Viet) is our ancestor. What do you mean by we was influenced by Bai Yue's tribe?

The language very closed to each is thai and lao after khmer, vietnamese is close to cantonese and taishanese never closer to khmer, or tai or lao. Vietnamese is married to Iu mien idiom too. I respect and like these idiom they are hard for me.

TAI too.

Lao is similar with isan language

I just wonder why people don't classify Vietnamese into a separate family, like the Korean language family or the Japanese language family, but instead classify Vietnamese into the South Asian group, because the language develops over time, Vietnamese has become a tonal language, with clear tones, monosyllabic, each syllable will have a specific meaning, changing the tone will create a new word with a new meaning, and And why put our language in the same group as non-tonal, polysyllabic languages ,like Cambodia-Thai-Lao language group, clearly the three Thai-Lao-Cambodia languages are not the same as our Vietnamese language, If so, then evolution has no value, all humans have the same ancestor, there is no need to classify, the current DNA code has no value, just find the DNA code millions of years ago. We don't differentiate between Asian people, but obviously these languages sound very strange,I'm sorry this is the first time I hear these languages,they like firecrackers exploding in the mouth.🥺🥺🥺🥺

It is proven Vietnamese and Khmer have a common ancestor language. For Japanese and Korean no relation has been found

I really hate it when the Vietnamese language has tones and monosyllables and has to share the same family name with the Khmer (the barbarian ethnic group) just because of the same basic words, putting the Mien barbarians in the same category as the Vietnamese people, it's a matter of appearance. There is no need to say because Vietnam and Khmer are very different in face and skin color as well as culture
