KRA DAI: THAI & LAO LANGUAGES 

The lao language is actually spoken in northeastern Thailand and is referred to as the issan dialect.

Fun Fact: Thai speakers can understand Vientiane Lao more than Western Lao in Northeastern Thailand, and also more than Northern Thai (Tai Yuan) and Southern Thai dialects.

Mainland SEA Austroasiatic: Vietnam, Cambodia Kradai: Thailand, Laos Sino-Tibetan: Myanmar 😢 *I’m so lonely*

I think the way Thai people speak is very cute, I really want to visit when I can 🇧🇷🇹🇭

Yeah a video about Thai! A little suggestions: because Thai and Lao are very similar and mutually intelligible, you can have the translators work together to match the translations together (for example, in the video, Thai says “red” while Lao says “red color” - these can actually be cut to “red” in both languages! Another point is that your transliteration of Lao doesn’t contain tones when it should have. However, great work!

3,7,8,9,10 seem close to Cantonese I noticed some numbers were close sounding when I was in Thailand years ago... One being "23", yi sip sam

Thai and laos undestand each other. Different is accent and some vocab.

the rhythm of thai is beautiful

They're like different dialects of the same language.

Here are somethings I would like to say. Thai uses sathu as well for amen. Most thai people will say see and then the color like how laotian is. Thai people will also say seefa/fa (pronounced faa) if naming shades of blue like turquoise, light blue, dark blue, and more.

Thai is a Kra-Dai language spoken primarily by the Thai people. It is natively spoken in the regions of Ang Thong, Ayutthaya, Bangkok, Chainat, Kamphaeng Phet, Lopburi, Nakhon Nayok, Nakhon Pathom, Nakhon Sawan, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Phetchabun, Phichit, Phitsanulok, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram, Saraburi, Sing Buri, Sukhothai, Suphanburi, and Uthai Thani in Thailand, officially spoken in Thailand, and a recognized minority language in Cambodia and Malaysia. Lao is a Kra-Dai language spoken primarily by the Lao people. It is natively spoken in Laos, the regions of Preah Vihear, Ratanakiri, and Stung Treng in Cambodia, the region of Yunnan in China, the regions of Amnat Charoen, Bueng Kan, Buriram, Chaiyaphum, Kalasin, Khon Kaen, Loei, Maha Sarakham, Mukdahan, Nakhon Phanom, Nakhon Ratchasima, Nong Bua Lamphu, Nong Khai, Roi Et, Sakon Nakhon, Sisaket, Surin, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, and Yasothon in Thailand, and the regions of Điện Biên, Lai Châu, and Sơn La in Vietnam, officially spoken in Laos, and a recognized minority language in Cambodia and Thailand.

In Thai and Lao language 'สีฟ้า and 'สีน้ำเงิน' have different meaning 'สีฟ้า' means 'sky blue' but 'สี้น้ำเงิน' means 'navy blue' It's mistake to says we used different words in 2 languages to name 'blue' beacause they have different meanining.

Thanks for uploading this video, from Thailand 🎉🇹🇭

I speak Thai, so for me, it's very easy to understand Lao

Lao looks way more fluid and soft than Thai.

I speak both languages, Thai and Lao.

Thai and Lao are kradai idioms, the same brotherhood that we see between spanish and navarro, or portuguese and galician, it's the same phenomenom between lao and thai.

The majority of Lao can speak Thai and understand the Thai language. A much smaller Thai population can speak Lao and understand the Lao language. The reason is because most of the Lao people watch Thai television and shows e.t.c..

Finally, Lao. Thank you Andy!

I still find it fascinating that Lao uses sadhu instead of amen in their prayer.

Muito bom Watching here in Brazil .

The Lao language falls within the Lao-Phuthai group of languages, including its closest relatives, Phuthai (BGN/PCGN Phouthai) and Tai Yo. Together with Northwestern Tai-which includes Shan, Ahom and most Dai languages of China, the Chiang Saen languages-which include Standard Thai, Khorat Thai, and Tai Lanna-and Southern Tai form the Southwestern branch of Tai languages. Lao (including Isan) and Thai, although they occupy separate groups, are mutually intelligible and were pushed closer through contact and Khmer influence, but all Southwestern Tai languages are mutually intelligible to some degree. The Tai languages also include the languages of the Zhuang, which are split into the Northern and Central branches of the Tai languages. The Tai languages form a major division within the Kra-Dai language family, distantly related to other languages of southern China, such as the Hlai and Be languages of Hainan and the Kra and Kam-Sui languages on the Chinese Mainland and in neighbouring regions of northern Vietnam.[7]

🚫 Thailand and Laos Tha is not political. everything we are the same We are inevitably the same blood. I'm from Bangkok same language 🚫 ໄທແລະລາວບໍ່ມີຫຍັງກ່ຽວຂ້ອງກັບການເມືອງ. ພວກເຮົາທຸກຄົນຄືກັນ ພວກເຮົາເປັນເລືອດດຽວກັນຢ່າງແນ່ນອນ. ຂ້ອຍມາຈາກບາງກອກ, ພາສາດຽວກັນ

為啥數字跟閩南語那麼像

Small correction, the word "si" should be before all colours or not on any because "si" is the word for colour.

Certain regions say Si Chompoo too ( pink) etc. so depends on what region and dialect you speak.

Good video as always! 🙂 Isn't true that Thai and Lao form a dialect continuum?

Those counting letters are similar to Cantonese after 2 3 Sam 4 sei 5 ng 6 lok 7 cat 8 baat 9 gau 10 sap

1:14 why does laos have the classifiers on all color words, but not thai?

I notice there are a little diferences like belorussian with russian

This is the Thai dialect of Bangkok people. This does not include northern, northeastern and southern dialects, which have many different tones.

Suggestion Andy; Comparison of Surinamese Dutch and Afrikaans

❤ Will there be any videos of Tai languages and Thai/Lao in the future (?

don't angry with me but i think it's easier lao language than thai language

The accent when reading the paragraph in Thai is a bit off in my opinion. Does not sound like native.

Tai migration (8th-12th century) Map showing the general migration patterns and diversification of the Tai peoples and languages from the original Tai Urheimat of southeastern China. The ancestors of the Lao people were speakers of Southwestern Tai dialects that migrated from what is now southeastern China, specifically what is now Guangxi and northern Vietnam where the diversity of various Tai languages suggests an Urheimat. The Southwestern Tai languages began to diverge from the Northern and Central branches of the Tai languages, covered mainly by various Zhuang languages, sometime around 112 CE, but likely completed by the sixth century.[8] Due to the influx of Han Chinese soldiers and settlers, the end of the Chinese occupation of Vietnam, the fall of Jiaozhi and turbulence associated with the decline and fall of the Tang dynasty led some of the Tai peoples speaking Southwestern Tai to flee into Southeast Asia, with the small-scale migration mainly taking place between the eighth and twelfth centuries. The Tais split and followed the major river courses, with the ancestral Lao originating in the Tai migrants that followed the Mekong River.[9]

Can anyone be a volunteer for the Isan language?

They sound more similar than I expected. Even Northern Vietnamese and Southern Vietnamese sound more different than Thai and Lao.

Thai language use a lot of pali 'n' sanskrit words. Whilst, Lao language's still use more Kra-dai vocabs.

very cool.

Alfabet Thailand sekilas mirip sama aksara Jawa (aksara tradisional bahasa Jawa)

I like that voice is very beautiful

ILoveThisChannel

Great video can you please compare Hmong and Lao? Thank you!

Native Thais would laugh at the speakers. It sounds weird and unnatural, like Siri speaking Thai 😂

Not first

Onde posso ver filmes ou séries em laosiano?

Thank you for having a Christian emphasis through the LORD's Prayer across all of your videos regardless of culture. Have a great day

Lao sounds more Indic to me.

Do malaysian dialects next pls

2:39 this is really dodgy thai. no one says "amen" (or atleast i've never heard anyone say that), we just say the same thing as laos unless there's a huge culture shift i'm missing out on

Who from Thailand

I am a Thai fan !🇹🇭❤️😍

Wish there's a video for the native counting system, and not just the loan numbers from Chinese.

Phra

69th like on the video, don't forget me.

คนไทยส่วนใหญ่ไม่ค่อยพูดนะ ( ไม่แน่ใจว่าพูดถูกหรือเปล่า)

daaang 😥1:36

The speaker in the video does not sound fluent in Thai and has an accent. The tones and rhythms are not natural. The speaker in the previous video was much better. You should not use this speaker.

Sorry but all i think about is Pangina and Jujubee 😅😂

Thai and Lao are different languages

cam cim com pram prim prom sam sim son

I don’t know before that’s was very similar So now I can put laos language into my resume?😂

Yes Very good I am Thai 🙏5555
