The Mak language is a Kam–Sui language spoken in Libo County, Qiannan Prefecture, Guizhou, China. It is spoken mainly in the
four townships of Yangfeng 羊/阳风乡, Fangcun 方村, Jialiang 甲良, and Diwo in Jialiang District 甲良, Libo County. Mak speakers can
also be found in Dushan County. Mak is spoken alongside Ai-Cham and Bouyei. The Mak are officially classified as Bouyei by
the Chinese government. Yang (2000) considers Ai-Cham and Mak to be different dialects of the same language. The Fangcun was
first studied by Fang-Kuei Li in 1942, and the Yangfeng dialect was studied in the 1980s by Dabai Ni of the Minzu University
of China. Ni also noted that the Mak people only sing Bouyei folk songs, and that about 5,000 Mak people have shifted to the
Bouyei language. |
