Lao Language Programs

Laotian is basically monosyllabic and tonal, but there has been extensive borrowing from Sanskrit and Pali at different periods in history. Almost all polysyllabic words relating to government, the court, Buddhism, science, and philosophy are of Sanskrit or Pali origin. The reading Lao course is designed to teach you to read newspaper articles, short stories, technical descriptions of moderate difficulty, literary narratives, political speeches, and other materials of similar difficulty.
