Abstract This aimed to compare phonology and lexical words of Phuan living in Nong Khai and Udon Thani . The data were collected from informants through standard wordlists. Thus, analyzed the data to find and by finding minimal pairs using William J. Gedney’s determining box. Both consonant phonemes and ’s structures were analyzed. As to lexical items analysis, it was classified into identical words and non-identical words considered through Linguistics’ variable rules. The study showed that Phuan in and has 20 initial , 9 final consonants, 18 single , 3 vowels, 6 tonal phonemes, and has three-way splitting of vowel tones. There are slight differences in phonetic tones, whereas there are 5 different syllable structures. A comparative study of lexical words of Phuan in Nong Khai and Udon Thani found that both identical and non-identical words are used.

Keywords: phonology, lexical words, Phuan Language
