My grandma's family speaks Toisan (a dialect of Cantonese) and it's so interesting to hear similar sounds (like the "HL" sound) in the Zhuang language that aren't found in the Hong Kong Cantonese dialect, but are in both Toisan and Zhuang.

My wife is ethnic Zhuang and grew up in Ling Li just outside of Nanning, GuangXi back in the 1970's. I think her dialect is still a bit different from what is spoken here. It still remains a mystery to me. It makes me wonder how many dialects have been lost. Many of these villages are no longer isolated and education in Mandarin has become standard. My wife also speaks a local dialect of Cantonese known as "Bei Hua". Even she has difficulty with some dialects from locals in Lizhou and Yangshuo.

I think my accent may be similar to your wife's because my hometown is right beside Ling Li. The dialect of my hometown is near the boundary between Zhuang and dialects of Cantonese, which leads to Chinese influence on the Zhuang there, in terms of loan words and pronunciation and even grammar, causing many differences to the other dialects. In my observation, there are still many dominant dialects that are used by elders but the younger generation born after 2010 doesn't use Zhuang as their mother tongue which may lead to the disappearance of the Zhuang language usage.

Tee Joey Gon Nday (Zhuang) = Ter Chai Kon Dee (literal translation to Thai) = Ter Pen Kon Dee (modern Thai) I always wonder why we use 'Chai' in Thai but 'Man' in Laos (both mean 'to be' or 'correct' or 'yes'). I guess that Thai and Laos were derived from different Zhuang dialects.

The situation/issue is that quite likely we are the last generation speaking real local 'Tho/ meaning earthly or local' language. Most, if not all, children who have grown in the county seat cities (县城: 靖西, 德保, 那坡)don't speak this language anymore. But the hope is that outside the county seat cities, far to the level of rural towns (乡 / 鄉)and even further down to villages people still speak Tho.

The Phutai in China(布傣 _budai) lives in Zhenlong Sub-district (Jinlong) 金龍鎮 _Jinlong)Guangxi Province.....ผู้ไทในจีน เรียกตัวเองปู้ไต่(ผู้ไท) เป็นกลุ่มชาติพันธ์ส่วนน้อยจัดอยู่ในกลุ่มชาวจ้วงกลุ่มหนึ่ง ผู้ไทในจีนอาศัยอยู่ที่ ตำบล เจิ้นหลง (จินหลง) มณฑลกวางสี

@@NoCareBearsGiven Its important to remember that Tai peoples and vietnamese kinh peoples come from China, like from guangxi etc. Several words are loan words from probably old chinese, cantonese and to fewer extent mandarin. Cultural and racial history of the many Chinese peoples is a very long discussion and topic indeed. To me, I don't mind the sound of northern tai or even lao so much. But the main tai in thailand sounds very ugly (to me) with the r and l and use of k sound. Lao does not have this annoyance, neither the tai in China nearly as much as in Thailand and also the culture in general seems more true to roots more upwards, which is why Laos has more similarities to southwest China than e.g. Thailand, if speaking about non-Han.

it's wrong to say "chinese" loans as tais are of chinese origin, the correct thing would be to say it's loanwords from mandarin or such. Zhuang are just as much Chinese as Han but Zhuang hasn't defined Chinese culture as much due to obvious reasons.

Completely different from mandarin pronunciation. Has only a few similarity with Cantonese pronunciation, but clearly a distinct language. I expect such language was spoken widely in the south to and of the Kingdom of Chu in Zhou Dynasty. As Qin created China, the speakers of this language were pushed out to today’s Guangxi or were forced to give up their distinct Zhuang language to adopt Central Plane Chinese (somewhat similar to today’s Cantonese). As the best successor of Qin Empire, Communist China surely is making a final push to completely wipe out Zhuang language in the face of Chinese territory. But Qin’s proto-Cantonese must also give way to the Manchurian Chinese dialect (Mandarin).
