	Lao phrasebook - Wikitravel
		Lao (ພາສາລາວ phaasaa laao) is the main language of Laos, also spoken to some degree in the northeastern Isaan region of Thailand.
		Lao romanization is bedeviled by the incompatibility between French and English pronunciation: most older transliterations are French-based, while newer ones are English-based.
		In romanized Lao, the distinction is usually represented by writing aspirated consonants with "h" and unaspirated ones without it.

	Laozi
		Laozi (Lao-tzu, in “Wade-Giles” romanization) flourished during the sixth century B.C.E. and was the “founder” of Daoism, according to Chinese tradition.
		The earliest strand revolved around the meeting of Confucius with Lao Dan and was current by the fourth century B.C.E. During the first half of the third century, Lao Dan was recognized as a great thinker in his own right and as the founder of a distinct “Laoist” school of thought.
		Lao Dan is but one manifestation of the divine Laozi, albeit a pivotal one because of the writing of the Daodejing, which in religious Daoism commands devotion as a foundational scripture that promises not only wisdom but also immortality and salvation to those who submit to its power.

		Lao cuisine, which is very healthful, uses a relatively small variety of herbs and spices, with a particular and distinctive emphasis on garlic and galanga (not ginger, as has been asserted elsewhere).
		Having said that the Lao like their food simple and light, lean and green, besides differences in taste, there is a more practical reason that the Lao do not eat Siamese food, despite living next door to the homeland of one of the most popular Asian cuisines in North America.
		Lao dishes would call for sticky rice, while foreign dishes, such as Chinese-style stir fries (which are popular), or Thai curry dishes (which are not popular) would be accompanied by regular white rice.

	Report on the Current Status of UN Romanization Systems for Geographical Names (V. 2.2, January 2003). Introduction
		Specifically, the group considers whether the romanization system is based on sound scientific principles, the system's degree of reversibility, and the extent of its implementation on cartographic products (maps and charts) by the proposing country.
		A new romanization system is typically submitted by the proposing country in form of a resolution to the next full United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names.
		Examples of romanization and details on pronunciation have been left out of the tables in this version as it is difficult to find sources for all the presented languages.

	Standards for Archival Description: Chapter 8
		Romanization uses phonetics to reproduce the sound of the word as it would be pronounced by a native speaker.
		Most efforts at romanization are likely to be made in the context of preparing catalog records for integration with bibliographic records in roman alphabet languages.
		In addition, some archives are using romanization to create labels and targets for microform copies of materials in nonroman languages, thereby facilitating their incorporation in English-based cataloging and filing schemes and making the eye-legible labels understandable to English-speaking users.

		Lao is, of course, a tonal language and so the need for good audio support should be obvious.
		Since Lao is similar to Thai (and I do have audio materials for Thai) I've been plugging Thai pronunciation into the Lao sounds.
		I have yet to meet a Laotian in my area (and there are some) who can recognize the romanization of Lao that this book uses, so it is hard to get help with pronunciation when I'm particularly unsure of it.

	Thai Pronunciation: Phonetics
		Because Thai is written in a non-Roman script it's necessary to use a romanization system for learning Thai as a second language, unless you learn to read Thai before trying to speak it.
		Similarly I used a letter "j" for jaw-jan, a sound that is often spelled with a "ch" in Thailand which confuses it with the real "ch" (chaw-ching and chaw-chang).
		When this romanization system is combined with the visual tone/vowel length markers described on the next site page, I believe it creates a very accessable system that will help learners pronounce Thai correctly.
