Lao (ພາສາລາວ) speech data for AI
How much open Lao speech data exists, where the gaps are, and how to get consented Lao data collected.
That is very little: under 10 hours is not enough to train or fairly evaluate a speech model. Lao is one of 223 of the 445 Common Voice languages below 10 validated hours.

Need Lao data?
