To count to 10 in Lao language, you can use the following numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &#8211; \u0eaa\u0eb9\u0e99 (sun)<br>2 &#8211; \u0eaa\u0ead\u0e87 (song)<br>3 &#8211; \u0ec0\u0eae\u0eb1\u0e94 (het)<br>4 &#8211; \u0eaa\u0eb5\u0ec8 (si)<br>5 &#8211; \u0eab\u0ec9\u0eb2 (ha)<br>6 &#8211; \u0eab\u0ebb\u0e81 (hok)<br>7 &#8211; \u0eab\u0ea7\u0eb2 (hua)<br>8 &#8211; \u0eab\u0ec9\u0eb2\u0e8d (hai)<br>9 &#8211; \u0eab\u0ebb\u0e81\u0ec2\u0e94\u0e8d (hok doy)<br>10 &#8211; \u0ec0\u0eaa\u0eb1\u0ec9\u0e99 (sep)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you can count to eleven then the rest is a piece of cake.
