Isan language
Isan is the principal language of the Isan region of Thailand. A tonal language of the Tai language family, it is the main language of trade and communication in the Isan region, except for in cities and in media where it gives way to Thai. The main language of the region is Isan, which is similar to Laotian. Thai is also spoken, with regional accents, by almost everyone.
