Talk:Isan language

message: Overall, this article has some very important and interesting information.  I appreciate all the examples of the Isan language, but there is also a little too much of this.  This is evident by the fact that there are two sections that contain identical information under the title "Identical vocabulary in Lao and Isan but distinct from Thai".  All the examples are making the article look cluttered.
One major issue with this article is all the statistical information from Hattaway, P.  I don't think a prayer guide in general is a good source, but the biggest problem with all this cited information is how old or misrepresented it is.  The article claims that there are 21 million native Isan speakers, referencing the 1995 census, which is cited from Hattaway, P.  Thai census does not acknowledge Isan as a language, therefore does not ask this, so I was confused about where Hattaway, P. received this information.  After looking at the book, I see he just gave the 1995 census of all people living in the Isan region of Thailand, so if one was to claim every single person living in Isan region can speak the Isan language, I think it would be better to use updated census information at the very least.

message: The link in the references section: "Basic Isaan phrases (Some basic Isaan phrases with sound files)" is dead and has moved to a new address at http://siamsmile.webs.com/isaan/isaan.html.
I tried editing in the new address, but it was removed.
Hope someone can correct it.
Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blutey (talk • contribs) 10:15, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Why are you separate 
"ไม้เอก" & "ไม้โท" from short and long vowel?
I think it have to analyze like these data.
• Short vowel
 -ไม้เอก
 -ไม้โท
• Long vowel
 -ไม้เอก
 -ไม้โท
But you separate to less the understanding.
I'm a bit confused. Juidzi (talk) 06:20, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

message: There are no references for this claim, and while there are similarities between languages there are also differences and any mutual intelligibility is likely code-switching (from the Lao/Isan side). 171.4.218.110 (talk) 04:48, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
