Buyang is a Tai–Kadai language spoken in Guangnan and Funing counties, Yunnan Province, China by the Buyang people. It is
important to the reconstruction of Austro-Tai as it retains the disyllabic roots characteristic of Austronesian languages.
Examples are /matɛ́/ to die, /matá/ eye, /qaðù/ head, and /maðû/ eight. (See Austro-Tai for proposed connections. ) The Buyang
language was only recently discovered in 1990 by Chinese linguist Liang Min. In 1999, a doctoral dissertation and book was
published for Buyang. The book has also recently been translated into English. Many speakers of Buyang are also fluent in
Zhuang. |
