The ban on the ''Tai Noi'' script in the 1930s led to the adoption of writing in Thai with the [[Thai script]]. Very quickly, the Isan people adopted an ''ad hoc'' system of using the Thai script to record the spoken Isan language, using etymological spelling for cognate words but spelling Lao words not found in Thai, and with no known Khmer or Indic etymology, similarly to as they would be in the Lao script. This system remains in informal use today, often seen in letters, text messages, social media posts, lyrics to songs in the Isan language, transcription of Isan dialogue and personal notes.
