The Pacoh language is a member of the Katuic language group, a part of the Eastern () Mon–Khmer linguistic branch. Most Pacoh speakers live in central Laos and central Vietnam. Pacoh is undergoing substantial change, influenced by the Vietnamese. Pacoh is spoken by 10,000-15,000 people, therefore, approaching the level of an endangered language. About 70% of Pacoh are mono-lingual, meaning they only speak their own language. Alternative names are: Paco, Pokoh, Bo River Van Kieu. Its dialects are Pahi (Ba-Hi). ==Phonology== Vowels ((Sidwell 2003 )): Pacoh has six vowel qualities, all of which occur long and short, in modal and creaky voice. Creaky vowels are lowered compared to modally voiced vowels. There are three diphthongs which also occur modal and creaky. Unlike other languages in the area, vowel phonation does not seem to have originated in the phonation of preceding consonants. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pacoh language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
