KORAT OR KHORAT

Isn't it the Khorat Plateau?
Issan, Isan or Isana ?
The Thai or Lao alphabet?
(Isan people still speak the Isan Language (related to the Lao language)).

Culture of Isan include Mor Lam (pronounced mor ram) folk music. A Friday/ Saturday festival of entertainment in some villages.(I must see this)
Early evidence of rice cultivation using Iron and Bronze age tools may predate similar tools from Mesopotamia. Found at ? Ban Chiang ( ?Udon Thani I think.)
Agricultural equipment that has superseded the buffalo is called the "rot tai na" (vehicle plough field) or "Kwai lek" ( iron/steel buffalo)
Population (2000) 21million Nakhon Ratchasima 200000 +
Other languages by minorities :
Nyah Kur and Tai Dam in this area

Well is it KORAT or KHORAT or maybe it can be either?
