Lao

Lao is a tonal language of the Kradai language family. It is the official language of Laos, and also spoken in the Northeast of Thailand, where it is usually referred to as the Isan language. Being the primary language of the Lao people, Lao is also an important second language for the multitude of ethnic groups in Laos and in Isan. Lao, like all languages in Laos, is written in an abugida script. Although there is no official standard, the Vientiane dialect has become the de facto standard.

Roughly 20 million people speak the Lao language, and significant Lao speaking communites exist in Australia, USA, France, Argentina, Canada, and China.
