Laven is a Mon–Khmer dialect cluster of southern Laos. Laven is the exonym given by the Laotian government, while the autonym of many of those speakers is Jru' [ɟruʔ]. Varieties are:

  • Jru' (also spelled Jruq)
  • Juk
  • Su' (also spelled Suq)

Laven varieties are described in detail by Therapan L-Thongkum and Paul Sidwell (2003).
