Red Karen or Karenni, known in Burmese as Kayah, is a Karen dialect continuum spoken by over half a million Kayah people (Red
Karen) in Burma. The name Kayah is a new name invented by the Burmese to split them off from other Karen. Eastern Kayah is
reported to have been spoken by 260,000 in Burma and 100,000 in Thailand in 2000, and Western Kayah by 210,000 in Burma in
1987. They are rather divergent. Among the Western dialects are Yintale and Manu (Manumanaw in Burmese). There are inconsistent
reports of whether Yinbaw is Red Karen or Geko Karen. |
