The word tai or thai means people or khonh but none of an ethnic as William Dodd has mentioned in his Tai race by ignorance and misinformation. Tai lue, tai Deng, tai Dam, tai khao, tai Mao or Mo, tai yuan or yonok , tai Phouane, Phoutai are related to the Lao ethnic group. The people whom Siam classified as Thai Yai in Shan State are Ailao shan or Ai Lao of Mountain. The people whom Siamese classified as Thai Isan and the citizen of Lane Na kingdom are Lao.
