Here’s a recording of part of a story in a mystery language.
Do you know or can you guess which language it’s in and where it’s spoken?
Thai?
Vietnamese.
I wanna say thai or lao, it also could be a tai language as well. I vote for Thai though.
Didn’t sound at all familiar at the beginning but sounded Thai-ish at the end so I’ll go with Lao.
sounds tonal, southeast asian… thai? khmer? i really dont know
Defiantly a form of Thai. I hear เพื่อให้ in there, and all the กัน or การ, and it feels like Thai, but I can’t parse much. It could be Isaan or Lao but it’s defiantly not Vietnamese.
Definitely not Vietnamese nor standard Thai. It does sounds Thai-ish to me, so the best I can guess is a Tai language, probably closely related to Thai. Those hours of watching Chinese martial fantasy TV series dubbed in Thai and Vietnamese finally paid off a little. :D
One more vote for Lao.
Definitely Kradai/Tai, but Lao sounds a little easy, and I agree with bronz, it’s not pure Thai.
Maybe one of the dialects of Thai…
Camboedian?
The language is Lao (ພາສາລາວ), which is spoken in Laos and Thailand.
The recording comes from RFI.
Is the Lao the answer?
:)
Yes, Lao is the answer.
So …….. you’re saying it’s Lao?
