ICANN reveals first non-latins domain names

The first non-Latin domain names made their debut on the Internet on Wednesday

Choosing Arabic as the initial language, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) picked Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates as the first three regions able to use country-code specific top-level domains (TLDs). This means people in those countries will now be able to type addresses for regional Web sites using their own native language characters.

So Lao language could be added in the near future. Something like ອານຸສັກ.ລາວ rather anousak.la. Cheers ICANN for their multilingual vision.
