"Isaan" is not considered a separate language, but rather a dialect of the Thai language, specifically referring to the Northeastern Thai dialect spoken in the Isaan region of Thailand; it is closely related to the Lao language and is often considered a sub-grouping of it by native speakers and linguists outside of official Thai classifications. 
 
Key points about Isaan:
  • Technically a dialect:
    Within Thailand, Isaan is officially classified as a "Northeastern Thai" dialect. 
     
  • Similar to Lao:
    Due to historical migration patterns, Isaan shares significant similarities with the Lao language. 
     
  • No official writing system:
    While written using the Thai alphabet, Isaan does not have a distinct writing system dedicated solely to it. 
     
  • Spoken in the Isaan region:
    This dialect is primarily spoken in the northeastern region of Thailand. 

Nice cut and paste, from an uncited source. Still incorrect. It's not referred to as "Isaan". That's the name if the region. There are many dialects in Isaan. Try going to Southern Isaan, especially the southern areas if Surin and Butiram, and tell the Khmer and Gui speakers their mother tongue is related to Lao language. Then go to Korat and ask them.  Keep the engine running just in case.

Yes, imagine learning the no 1 language in a country so you can enjoy the country more, get to know the people and make life easier. Weird.
