Move proposal[edit]

Move to Lao Loum. Much more common spelling. Badagnani 01:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think we might be talking about two different ethnic groups. The one this article's about, there are supposedly only about 27,000 people, not the same as the one with 69% of Laos' population. I will look into it though.Kevin Borland, Esq. 20:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the case, it needs to be made very clear (via disambiguation or otherwise) what the difference is between the two. Badagnani 20:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thailand#Need Thai:

If I am not totally wrong, Lao Lom are ลาวหล่ม, and the Lao Loum (Lao Lum) are ลาวลุ่ม. andy (talk) 11:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I personally have no idea, though. --Paul_012 ^(talk) 11:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
