It's lap, not larb

By:  Laoconnection.com, February 20, 2024

Since there is no international set standard of how to write Lao words into English, you'll often see many spelling variations of the same word.  This is often dependent on who's writing and everyone seems to have their own way of writing it out - us included!

Very useful Lao/English Buddhist book

Laos once considered the letter R a Western interloper. The Internet helped bring it back.

By:  Saqib Rahim, Washington Post, January 20, 2020
