| Summary: | This paper is an outline of some of the major features of the phonology and grammar of a dialect of the
Buyang language, a Tai-Kadai language with roughly 2000 speakers spread over the border area of
Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces in China, and northern Vietnam and Laos. The particular variety
described is the Paha variety spoken in Yanglian village, Guangnan County in Yunnan Province,
China. The genetic position of Buyang within Tai-Kadai, and the influence of Zhuang and Chinese on the language are also discussed. |
