Vulgar Words?

In Central Thai shirt and believe have the same tone and typically falling tone words become low tone words in Essan and you're right that becomes , which would make the words the same. However, in this case เชื่อ becomes เซือ (mid tone). เสื้อ does follow the normal trend and becomes เสื่อ. So to believe is mid-tone and shirt is low tone in Lao/Essan.

That is fascinating. I don't know very much about Lao/Essan, just words I pick up - are you saying that it has no (or few) falling-tone syllables?

It is interesting isn't it? They do still have lots of falling tone syllables. In general high-tone syllables in central thai become falling-tone syllables in lao/essan.
