The Mulam language Chinese: 仫佬; pinyin: Mùlǎo is a Kam–Sui language spoken mainly in Luocheng County, Hechi, northern Guangxi
by the Mulao people. The greatest concentrations are in Dongmen and Siba communes. Their autonym is mu6 lam1. The Mulam also
call themselves kjam1, which is probably cognate with lam1 and the Dong people's autonym Kam (Wang & Zheng 1980). The Mulam
language, like Dong, does not have voiced stops. However, it does contain unvoiced and voiced nasals and laterals. Its vowel
system contains eleven vowels. It is a tonal language with ten tones and 65% of their vocabulary is shared with the Zhuang
and Dong languages. Since the Ming Dynasty, Chinese characters have been utilized to read and write the Mulam language. The
majority of the Mulam also speak Chinese as well as the Zhuang and Dong languages. |
