I learned from my professor ( archarn in Lao ) " Maha Sila Viravong ".
Laos PDR calls " Lathakarn " to all the people who's working for the government right? And calls its population: Lath-sa-dorn.
Royal of Laos called " Rajakarn " to all the people who's employed or government workers. And called its population: Raj-ja-dorn.
How do they call the king in Lao? " PRA-MA-HA-KA-SAD " right?
Sorry, I have no Lao keyboard, I am writing karaoke instead.
PRA-NA-THARN pen nam-ma-yoth thee pra-ma-ha-ka-sad ( king ) di pra-raj-jar-tharn hi book khon thee mee khun-ngarm-kuam-dee tor sad lair phen-dinh nai khanh Rat-tha-mon-tree kheuin pi.
No one can't call PRA-NA-THARN without the king had given to. During Royal of Laos had a few people received nam-ma-yoth pra-raj-jar-tharn from the king like: Phouy Sananikone, Sisouk N. Champasack, Pheng Phongsavanh, Tubi Lifoung and Leuam Insisiengmai.
The people didn't received " nam-ma-yoth, pra-raj-jar-tharn " from the king they " THARN " only, here sample: Tharn Soth Phetrasy, Tharn Deuan Sounnarath, Tharn Kaysone Phomvihanh, Tharn Kham Ouane Boubpha ete....
pra-na-tharn is not rajah sub brother but it relate to the king. there are 2 words connceted: pra +arsanar = mean a king's horse or king's pha-har-nar. arsanar= it came from arsanai arsanai= is a horse. they cut arsar off and kept nar only word to add with pra then those 2 words are connected pra-nar then they added tharn next to that word and then came out pra-nar-tharn.
other sample: tha-na-khane. they took tha-na-batt + ar-kharn = tha-nar batt-ar-kharn but they cut batt and ar off and added all the rest together to be one word: tha-na-khane.
par-nar-tharn is a person who's working for the king or other meaning is phu tang teen tang meu khong kasad.
phasa lao is not easy to study, when i was studen my lao section score were lower then french and english.
Laos pdr is not the Kingdom of Laos any more and have no king to rule the country, they are not suppose to call the prime minister, the president and or the top rank of the govt. officers and army as " PRA-NA-THARN " they should call " THARN " only to fit with socialism country.

That's so true and the only person I heard of when I was very young was ພະນາທ່ານ ( ອີນແປງ ) if I'm not mistaken.
You're right '' pra-na-tharn " is not rajah-sub but it's " nama-yoth " that the king had given to ( name pra-raj-thanh in lao ). I haven't heard lao pdr called '' pra-na-tharn " during 1975 to 2002. from 1975 to 1985 they called every one from bottom to the top rank ( phu-num ) as " sa-hai ". from 1986 to 2002 they up grade and changed from " sa-hai " to " tharn " for the people with hight rank like people in " sama sik phuck "andfrom 2003 they changed " tharn " to " pra-na-tharn "
They didn't call any one from king family " pra-na-tharn " they called " sa-deth ", and thai never use pra-na-thar to any body because it is not thai word or thai language. thai call their top rank govt. as " NAI " and " THARN "
thai is using NAI with a person's full name expl: NAI Abbisit, Nai Bouasone. and THARN they are using with proper name expl: THARN nai-yok ratta-moon-tree, THARN sor-sor.......

Pra-na- tharn Inpeng Souryathai was received Narm-ma-yoth from the king. King SisavangWattana had given him as PRAYA also. Most people know him as PRAYA INPENG SOURYATHAI. You're right, some they called him Par-na-tharn Inpeng.
simples solusion.just use buc for male and e for female.no moore argument so everyone equal, no cast system. one thing i still not understand why lao pdr do not use sahai word as they often use befor they came to power.
Where did you get that from? I mean your lao writing in red. PRA-NA-THARN is NAMMAYOD from the king given out to a high rank person who have KHKHOUN NGAMKUAM DEE for the country. Do you know how many people had received PRA-NA-TARN during Kingdom of Laos ara? There wasn't for every ministers all hight rank people.
From the low level people ( civilian ) had NAMMAYOD PRA RAJ THARN from PRA CHAOMAHA SIVITH there's start from: KHOUN, MEUIN, SENE, PHIA, RAJA.
For high level people: PRAYA.
PRA is proper name that relate to SATHABANH KASAD like: PRA BIDA- PRA MANDA- PRASAMEE- PRA MAHEISEE- PRA OROTH ete....
A word PRA can't use with the country's not ruling by the king.
