Thai and Laos are supposed to be mutually intelligible (as in those who only speak one can more or less understand the other). I hear it's also this way with Swedish/Norwegian/Danish and Dutch/Afrikaans and so on.

Let me know what you guys think please. Inb4 0 replies and 404 because this is a Eurocentric board.
Laotian sounds higher pitched and Thai sounds like they're speaking from the back of their throat. Also, Laotian sounds quicker. I'm not sure what other differences you want me to make out.

I've been here since 07. Not on /int/ obviously, this board wasn't around back then. But I remember a time when people would just post images like that here without worrying they were being too "9gag" or "reddit." Might have been before your time.
