    • Line-breaking issues may arise due to the lack of space between Lao words.
    • For various purposes, Lao people use both Arabic and Lao numerals. Formal documents, legal documents, and government documents are the most common uses of Lao numerals. In everyday conversation, however, Arabic numerals are preferred.
    • In the Lao language, there are four main registers: royal (now obsolete), ecclesiastical, written, and spoken.
    • Different pronouns and prefixes are used in each register.
    • The metric system is used in Laos for measurement. Sometimes gold and silver are measured in baht (1 baht = 15g).
    • The date format is date-month-year.
    • The time format is either a 24-hour clock or a 12-hour clock.
    • The full name format is the given name followed by the family name.
    • The address format follows the template name – house number and street name – town, postcode – country.

    • In North-Eastern Thailand, Lao is also known as the Isan language.
    • The Lao language has many regional varieties both in Laos and North Eastern Thailand.
    • Type of writing system: the syllabic alphabet. Lao script, or Akson Lao, is the primary script used in the Lao language, which was adapted from the Khmer script and is a sister system to the Thai script.
    • The direction of writing: from left to right in horizontal lines.
    • Written Lao requires no spaces between words. Instead, spaces indicate the end of a clause or a sentence.
