- The Kam–Tai languages, also called Zhuang–Dong in China or Be–Kam–Tai, are a proposed primary branch of the Kradai language family, and include all major languages of that family. Ethnologue lists 76 languages in this branch. This makes it the largest branch of the Tai–Kadai language family containing over 80% of those languages. Based on the large number of vocabulary they share, three of the five branches of Kradai, namely Kam–Sui, Be, and Tai, are often classified together as Kam–Tai or Be–Kam–Tai. However, this is negative evidence, possibly due to lexical replacement in the other branches, and morphological similarities suggest that Kam–Sui should instead be grouped with Kra, one of the other branches, as Northern Kradai, and that Tai should be grouped with the final branch, Hlai, as Southern Kradai (Ostapirat 2005).
