Talk:Quảng Lâm language

Bluethailand (talk) 03:55, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

The Ethnologue site has Quang Lam as an alternate name for Kháng.Bluethailand (talk) 04:07, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Quang Lam is actually more closely related to the Bit language than to the Khang language - so the Ethnologue entry is not right. See Paul Sidwell's Palaungic book. — Stevey7788 (talk) 14:55, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

It's possible Journal Asiatique (JA) 1892 might have more about this group. In Asie du Sud-Est et Monde Insulindien vol. 2 no. 4 Dec 1971, page 79, there is a citation of "Kha Quang Lim", a group mentioned by Lefevre-Pontalis in 1892 (JA).Bluethailand (talk) 06:33, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Is this the same group that Robert Parkin (1991) describes as "Quang Lime"? p.103Bluethailand (talk) 06:43, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

I believe so. — Stevey7788 (talk) 14:55, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Note moved

Moved this note from the article; Quang Lam is an actual language variety, but is not the name of an officially recognized ethnic group in Vietnam: — Stevey7788 (talk) 15:21, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

It seems there is a misunderstand here. "Quảng Lâm" is a fine sino-vietnamese word, and cannot be a name of a language of a minority. After Nguyễn Văn Huy (1975). "Về nhóm Kháng ở bản Quảng Lâm" - "About a groupe of Khang people in Quảng Lâm hamlet", that is, here is a dialect of Khang language in a hamlet with about teens persons only. It should not be a "language".
