CLDR likely/default locale: Laoo; not audio/sole script—confirm project choice
Direction
Left to right

Lao (ລາວ) review centers on this evidence: check Lao vowel placement, tone-bearing spelling, unspaced word boundaries, names, numbers, and sentence divisions. The Laoo value for lo comes from CLDR likely-subtag expansion. It guides locale fallback; audio has no script, and Lao still needs a project choice. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include word segmentation, vowel and tone marks, names, numbers, and sentence boundaries. Project decision: how Lao word segmentation, names, and punctuation will be represented. Before batch editing lo, a reviewer must record how Lao word segmentation, names, and punctuation will be represented and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.

Frozen deployment boundary

This page is published only because its language is present in capability snapshot m10-2026-07-20.1. It does not extend that catalog or claim a measured accuracy score.

  • The lo hint maps to the reviewed lo provider root and preserves lo as the user's transcript language tag.
  • CLDR Laoo is a likely/default locale hint, not an audio property; capability flags remain per language and model while editors confirm the project's real script and orthography.

For Lao, check Lao vowel placement, tone-bearing spelling, unspaced word boundaries, names, numbers, and sentence divisions. Project choice: how Lao word segmentation, names, and punctuation will be represented. Keep unresolved forms beside their source timestamps.
