Early MY/TB loan relationships
The Miao-Yao (MY) languages appear to have split off from the main-land bloc of Austro-Tai (AT) languages at an early period, moving to the north and west and there coming into contact with the Sino-Tibetan (ST) languages.

| description | The Miao-Yao (MY) languages appear to have split off from the main-land bloc of Austro-Tai (AT) languages at an early period, moving to the north and west and there coming into contact with the Sino-Tibetan (ST) languages. To make use of an analogy from geomorphology, they came to be positioned at the 'grinding edges' of the vast AT and ST tectonic plates. along a line of maximum anticipated activity. In this case the activity involved the transformation of MY into a monosyllabic, fully tonal language family, as earlier described by the writer (1975 - hereafter ATLC), with many of the details yet to be explored. |
