Northern Thai Dialect

Weaw's family and many other people in the North speak a Northern Thai dialect. I was having a harder time understanding them and them me, did not really understand why till later. I kept calling Weaw's grandma "Yai" (central Thai for grand mom) but the Northern word for grand mom is "Oo-ii"

No wonder she looked at me strangely sometimes!
