Romanization of Lao


Romanisation of Lao is the transcription form from Lao script to Latin alphabet.

History

There was no romanisation system in the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names for Laotian script and no national romanisation system in Laos until 1996. BGN and PCGN joined Commission Nationale de Toponymie and finally established a system for Lao romanisation.
