Tai languages
The Tai or Zhuang–Tai〔Diller, 2008. ''The Tai–Kadai Languages''.〕 languages ((タイ語:ภาษาไท) or , transliteration: ' or ') are a branch of the Tai–Kadai language family. The Tai languages include the most widely spoken of the Tai–Kadai languages, including standard Thai or Siamese, the national language of Thailand; Lao or Laotian, the national language of Laos; Burma's Shan language; and Zhuang, a major language in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi.
==Name==
Cognates with the name ''Tai'' (''Thai, Dai'', etc.) are used by speakers of many Tai languages. The term ''Tai'' is now well-established as the generic name in English. In his book '' The Tai-Kadai Languages'' Anthony Diller claims that Lao scholars he has met are not pleased with Lao being regarded as a Tai language.〔(Diller, Anthony; Edmondson, Jerry; Luo, Yongxian (2004). The Tai-Kadai Languages ). ''Routledge (2004)'', pp.6. ISBN 1135791163.〕 For some, Thai should instead be considered a member of the Lao language family. One or more Ancient Chinese characters for ‘Lao’ may be cited in support of this alternative appellation. Because ''Tai'' is homophonous with ''Thai'', the national language of Thailand, some linguists such as Gedney and Li continue to use ''Siamese'' for the latter. Similarly, the terms ''Dai'' and ''Daic'' have fallen somewhat out of favor as the name for the entire family, with either Tai–Kadai or Kra–Dai being more common.〔Diller (2008)〕
Many of the languages are called ''Zhuang'' in China and ''Nung'' in Vietnam.
