Modern Lao linguists recognize five basic dialects within the country: Vientiane Lao; northern Lao (spoken in Sainyabuli, Bokeo, Udomxai, Phongsali, Luang Nam Tha and Luang Prabang): north-eastern Lao (Xieng Khuang and Hua Phan), central Lao (Khammuan and Bolikhamxui); and finally southern Lao (Champasak, Savannakhet, Salavun, Attapeu and Sekong). Each of these can he further divided into various subdialects; the differences between the Lao spoken in the neighbouring provinces of Xieng Khuang and Hua Phan, for example, is readily apparent to those who know Lao well.

The official language of the LPDR is Lao as spoken and written in Vientiane. As an official language, it has successfully become the lingua franca between all Lao and non-Lao ethnic groups in Laos. Of course, native Lao is spoken with differing tonal accents and with slightly differing vocabularies as you move from one part of the country to the next, especially in a north to south direction. But it is the Vientiane dialect that is most widely understood.
All dialects of Lao are members of the Thai half or the Thai-Kadai family of languages and are closely related to languages spoken in Thailand, northern Myanmar and pockets of China’s Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces. Standard Lao is indeed close enough to standard Thai (as spoken in central Thailand) that, for native speakers, the two are mutually intelligible. In Fact, virtually all of the speakers of Lao west of the Annamite Chain can easily understand spoken Thai, since the bulk of the television and radio they tune in to is broadcast From Thailand.
