About Lao Language

Lao or Laotian is the official language of Lao People’s Democratic Republic. Lao is the official language of Lao people, Lao is also spoken in the northeastern parts of Thailand, where it is known by the name of Isan language.


As most ethnic groups in Laos have their own separate dialects, Lao is the second most important language for the people to communicate with the foreign people. Lao is also considered as one of the central language. Vocabulary, pronunciation and accent may have different versions across different regions of the country..


Lao belongs to the family of Tai-Kadai languages. The written form of the Lao language was derived from Tham script which is said to have developed from the Pali language that had its origins in India. The script was brought to the region by Theravada Buddhists two thousand years ago when Buddhism was growing in popularity.


Tham scripts were used by the Buddhist’s to write the Dhamma (the teachings of Buddha). The language was taught to novices and monks in the places of worship, monasteries; this is the reason why in the past only men (ex-monks) knew how to read and write the Tham script. Today in Laos and northeastern Thailand the Tham still exists.


Through the past years, adjustments were made to the Tham script and it was used for writing Lao language. And through various orthographic reforms, Lao script has gradually been developed into what we know as Laotian today.


Lao is a tonal language with six tones in the Vientiane dialect: low, mid, high, rising, high falling, and low falling. Consisting mainly of native Lao words. However, due to the introduction of Buddhism, Pali they both contributed numerous terms in the main language especially those relating to religion. Many words are borrowed form the Pali language and can seen in Lao language until today.


Lao has said to have influenced Khmer language and Thai language and vice versa. The majority of Lao people understand spoken Thai and Lao literate people can read Thai, because Lao and Thai languages have very less dissimilarities. However, we are not able to comprehend Khmer language in any way is different from Lao.


The Lao alphabet is phonetic. Words are spelt according to phonetic principles as opposed to etymological principles. In addition to consonants having tone classes, tone marks facilitate marking tones where they are needed.
