Tags: Ethnic Group.
The Lao Krang (Thai: ลาวครั่ง [laːw kʰraŋ]; endonym: [laːw kʰaŋ]) are a sub-group of the Lao ethnic group. Also known as the Tai Krang (Thai: ไทครั่ง) 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.
