    Both Thai & Lao both belong to the Kra-Dai language family. About 70 percent of the vocabulary is common in Lao and Thai. One of the reason for this similarity is that many words in these languages are taken from Sanskrit and Pali. However, the pronouns, negatives, and wh- question words are different in these two languages. In fact, some words in Lao may be same as Thai, but are used for different purposes. The tones of the two languages vary throughout, but follow the same system. The two languages have similar alphabets and you can even find most of the letters same.
    If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    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.

  • @rothaeos
    @rothaeos Před rokem +94

    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!

    • @rothaeos
      @rothaeos Před rokem +11

      Oh and the Bible text of the two languages were translated by different translators, so they don’t sound very similar. In reality, (the standard accents of) these two languages are different in only vocabulary and a small extent of tones!

      I had really bad problems with my Christian faith since I got saved in 2000. I started adopting the teachings of Buddhism ☸ and Taoism ☯️ in my walk with Jesus ❤. I refused to say the word "amen" and started using the Korean greeting "anyonghasaeyo" to end prayers. I will use "sadhu" also. I will look up ways to end prayers besides saying the word "amen" because I get annoyed and angry.

    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]

    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]
