In Laos, the national language is Lao, but English is widely spoken in major tourist areas, making it convenient for travelers. Additionally, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai languages are also commonly understood by locals.
Furthermore, due to historical connections, many educated Lao individuals speak French, German, Russian, and other European languages, as they received university education in Europe during the period of the 1970s to 1990s. This linguistic diversity contributes to a more accessible and enriching experience for visitors exploring the country.
