Names The ethnonym and autonym of the Lao people, together with the ethnonym of the Kra-speaking Gelao people, would have emerged from the Austro-Asiatic 'human being'. The etymon would have also yielded the ethnonym / , a name given to the Vietnamese by Tai speaking peoples, currently slightly derogatory. In fact, / was an exonym used to refer to Tai speaking peoples, as in the epic poem of Thao Cheuang, and was only later applied to the Vietnamese.
