Tai Lü ᦑᦺᦟᦹᧉ (Vietnamese: Lự or Lữ) is a language spoken by about 700,000 people in South East Asia. This includes 280,000 people in China, 200,000 in Burma, 134,000 in Laos, 83,000 in Thailand, and 4,960 in Vietnam. The language is similar to other Tai languages and is closely related to Tai Yuan, which is also known as Northern Thai language. In China, it is spoken in all of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture 西双版纳傣族自治州, as well as Jiangcheng Hani and Yi Autonomous County 江城哈尼族彝族自治县 in Pu'er City 普洱市. In Vietnam, Tai Lü speakers are officially recognised as the Lự ethnic minority, although in China they are classified as part of the Dai people, along with speakers of the other Tai languages apart from Zhuang. The Bajia people (八甲人), who number 1,106 individuals in Mengkang Village 勐康村, Meng'a Township 勐阿镇, Menghai County, Yunnan, speak a language closely related to Tai Lü.
