This group holds every Eurasian Language Families member whose sourced description identifies it as Tai-Kadai, Kra-Dai, Kam-Tai, Hmong-Mien or Miao-Yao, or as a named branch within either family, including Kam-Sui, Be, Hlai, Hmongic and Mienic, rather than splitting the two small families into groups of their own.All Tai-Kadai and Hmong-MienComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)All Tai-Kadai and Hmong-MienFilter Results11 entriesParent Family (Classification Tree)AllKra-Dai (1)Speaker Count BandAll24,600 to 795,000 (1)592 to 23,000 (1)798,400 to 3,238,000,000 (3)RegionAllAsia (8)China (3)East Asia (4)Northeast India (1)Southeast Asia (4)Vietnam (1)Reconstructed AncestorAllReconstructed (7)Classification StatusAllEstablished (4)Number of LanguagesAll16 to 1,408 (3)6 to 15 (1)In GroupAllTai-Kadai and Hmong-Mien (11)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 11Bahengic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesCentral Tai languagesEurasian Language FamiliesHlai languagesEurasian Language FamiliesHmong-MienEurasian Language FamiliesKam-Sui languagesEurasian Language FamiliesKam-Tai languagesEurasian Language FamiliesKra languagesEurasian Language FamiliesKra-DaiEurasian Language FamiliesSheic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesTaiEurasian Language FamiliesYongnan languagesEurasian Language FamiliesComments (0)No comments yet.
