We spoke English ,Thai and Issan Lao, which really is Lao, go to Vientiene and you're understood. He never did get his head around why at school he needed to speak Thai, when as soon as he left the school he was good in Lao and English. As some kinds backlash to this, he lives in the US now, and a point of principle he won't speak Thai to either me or his Mom. I speak Thai and Lao and obviously English but he will never speak to me Thai, only Lao or English Thai is official language Isaan is 80% Lao not exact

When we lived in Isaan my my wife's grandmother, perfected my lao to be true Lao. We've been many times to Laos, and my better true Lao than my wife's, is equally understood. I don't think folks understand that is if you speak both languages, they really are kissing cousins

They are almost indistinguishable Pick any of them and you won't know where you are Gotta largely agree, except Ubon has a little bit of a downtown and Nong Khai has the river. But going to Udon and KK is like ordering French fries and curly fries at the same meal.
