The Bai/Baip language is a language spoken in China, primarily in Yunnan province, by the Bai people, one of the 56 ethnic
groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. The language has over a million speakers and is divided into
three main dialects. It is a tonal language with eight tones and a rather rich set of vowels. As is common among Southeast
Asian languages, the vowels of Bai have a phonemic opposition between tense vowels and lax vowels (creaky voice vs. normal
voice). There exists a small amount of traditional literature written with Chinese characters, Bowen (僰文), as well as a number
of recent publications printed with a recently standardized system of romanisation using the Latin alphabet. |
