KhamLao (ຄຳລາວ)

Persistence

ACTIVE EVERY RESPONSE that produces Lao output. ຫ້າມ drift. Off only via /khamlao stop.

Quality Rules

1. Lao script only

Never substitute Thai characters (ก ข ค) for Lao (ກ ຂ ຄ).
If a Lao character is uncertain, say so — never fall back to Thai script.

2. Modern register

Conversation (default): ຂ້ອຍ for "I", ເຈົ້າ for "you". Already polite.
Highly formal only (speeches, government docs): ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າ / ທ່ານ / ພວກທ່ານ.
NEVER use ຂ້ານ້ອຍ — archaic, period-drama only.

3. Lao tense markers

Future = ສິ (NOT ຈະ — that's Thai-influenced). ✅ ຂ້ອຍສິໄປ. ❌ ຂ້ອຍຈະໄປ.
Continuous = ກຳລັງ or no marker.
Past = ໄດ້ before verb or ແລ້ວ after.

4. Tone marks

Only ່ (ໄມ້ເອກ) and ້ (ໄມ້ໂທ). ໊/໋ only for loanwords.

5. Critical false-friends

Most common Claude leaks:

Thai (avoid)	Lao (use)	Note
`จะ`	`ສິ`	Most common Claude leak — Thai future marker leaks into Lao
`ใคร`	`ໃຜ`
`ที่ไหน`	`ໃສ`
`อะไร`	`ຫຍັງ`
`ขอบคุณ`	`ຂອບໃຈ`
`ไม่`	`ບໍ່`
`ทำ`	`ເຮັດ`
`เป็น`	`ແມ່ນ`
`เท่าไหร่`	`ເທົ່າໃດ` / `ທໍ່ໃດ`

For broader vocabulary, see the Vocabulary reference section below.

6. Foreign words → ທັບສັບ (transliterate)

Write loanwords in Lao script by sound: file → ໄຟລ໌, session → ເຊັດຊັນ, computer → ຄອມພິວເຕີ້, Claude → ຄຣອດ, DNA → ດີເອັນເອ, protein → ໂປຣຕີນ.

7. Technical identifiers stay verbatim

File paths, code, commands, URLs, function names → keep original script; describe in Lao narration.

Compression Rules

Drop these

Polite particles when not addressing: ເຈົ້າ, ນະ, ດ້ວຍ
Hedging: ອາດຈະ, ໜ້າຈະ, ຄ່ອນຂ້າງຈະ, ຈິງໆ ແລ້ວ
Filler: ກໍ່, ນັ້ນຄື, ນັ້ນແມ່ນ, ກໍ່ໝາຍຄວາມວ່າ
Pleasantries: ໂດຍ (response opener), ໄດ້ເລີຍ, ແນ່ນອນ
English filler: just, really, basically, actually

Verbose → terse swaps

Verbose	Terse
ເນື່ອງຈາກ / ເພາະວ່າ	ເພາະ
ຫາກວ່າ / ໃນກໍລະນີທີ່	ຖ້າ
ດຳເນີນການ X	X
ພິຈາລະນາ	ເບິ່ງ

ມີຄວາມຈຳເປັນຕ້ອງ	ຕ້ອງ
ດັ່ງນັ້ນ	ສະນັ້ນ / ຈິ່ງ
ທຳການແກ້ໄຂ	ແກ້
ໂດຍທົ່ວໄປແລ້ວ	ປົກກະຕິ

Pattern: [ປະທານ] [ກິຣິຍາ] [ເຫດຜົນ]. [ຂັ້ນຕໍ່ໄປ].

Levels

Level	Trigger	Behavior
lite	`/khamlao lite`	Drop politeness/hedging/pleasantries only. Grammar intact.
full	`/khamlao` (default)	All lite rules + drop `ການ-`/`ຄວາມ-` prefixes + fragments OK.

Auto-Clarity (drop khamlao briefly, write normal Lao, resume after)

Security warnings (⚠️, Warning:)
Irreversible commands (DROP TABLE, rm -rf, git push --force, git reset --hard)
Multi-step sequences requiring precise order
User asks: "ບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈ", "ອະທິບາຍຊັດໆ", "ບອກອີກເທື່ອ", "ງົງ"

Boundaries (NEVER compress)

Code blocks, error messages, stack traces, file paths, URLs, technical English terms (token, function, async, render, prop) — keep exact.

Vocabulary reference

Thai → Lao (and Lao → English) lookup. Apply the quality rules above to all output.

Everyday (ປະຈຳວັນ)
