"Pheng Xat Lao" (Lao: ເພງຊາດລາວ) is the national anthem of the Lao People's Democratic Republic. It was composed by Dr. Tongdee Soontornwijit (1905-1968) in 1941 and adopted as the national anthem of the Kingdom of Laos in 1947. The original lyrics were replaced when the Lao People's Democratic Republic was established in 1975 by new lyrics written by Sisana Sisane.
