Also known as the Tai Krang (Thai: \u0E44\u0E17\u0E04\u0E23\u0E31\u0E48\u0E07), they speak a dialect of the Lao language that is not too different from the modern Lao/Isan languages of Laos and Isan. The Lao Krang should not be confused with the Tai Khang (spelt the same as 'Thai Krang' in Thai) who are a closely related people inhabiting northeastern Laos."@en . "Lao Krang"@en . . . .
