	Northern Thai language
		The term Yuan is still used for the distinctive Lannathai script, which is closely related to the old Thai Lue alphabet and the Lao religious alphabets.
		(All these alphabets derive from the Old Mon alphabet.) The use of the ''tua mueang'', as the traditional alphabet is known, is now largely limited to Buddhist temples, where many old sermon mansuscripts are still in active use.
		Most linguists consider Northern Thai to be more closely related to Thai and the other Chiang Saeng languages than to Lao and the Lao-Phutai languages, but the distinction is never easy to make, as the languages form a continuum with few sharp dividing lines.
