The Bisoid (Phunoi) languages belong to the Southern Loloish (Hanoish) branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Most Bisoid languages are spoken in Phongsaly Province, northern Laos, with smaller numbers of speakers living in China (Yunnan), Vietnam (Lai Châu Province), Myanmar (Shan State), and northern Thailand.

Languages[edit]

The Bisoid languages are:

  • Bisu (mBisu, Pisu)
  • Cantan
  • Cauho
  • Cốông
  • Habei (Mani)
  • Khongsat (Suma)
  • Laomian
  • Laopan
  • Laopin
  • Laoseng
  • Phongku (Phu Lawa)
  • Phongset
  • Phunoi
  • Phunyot
  • Pyen (Phen)
  • Sangkong
  • Sinsali (Singsili)
  • Tsukong
  • Classification[edit]

    Bradley (2007)[edit]

    David Bradley (2007)[1] considers the following Bisoid dialects to be closely related.

    Bradley (2007) lists the following Sinsali (formerly Phunoi) languages, which differ from each other.

    Other Bisoid languages include:

    Udomkool (2006)[edit]

    Kitjapol Udomkool (2006:34),[2] citing data from Wright,[3] also lists the following Bisoid (Phunoi) languages.

    Kitjapol Udomkool (2006) gives the following computational classification for the Bisoid (Phunoi) group, using the UPGMA method.

    Wright (n.d.)[edit]

    Wright (n.d.)[3] tentatively classifies the Singsali (Phunoi) languages of Phongsaly Province, Laos as follows. Phongku may or may not belong as the same group as Laoseng, Phongset, Cantan, and Singsali.

  • Cauho
  • Laopan
  • Hsiu (2016, 2018)[edit]

    Bisoid languages were also analyzed in a 2016 computational phylogenetic lexical analysis by Hsiu (2016).[4]

  • Laoseng
  • Sangkong
  • Pyen
  • The Bisoid classification above was subsequently revised by Hsiu (2018)[5] as follows, with Habei added to Bisoid.

    Bisoid

    Muda is also noted as having a Bisoid substratum and Akha superstratum. Khongsat and Laoseng have Siloid loanwords.[5]
