Kra languages, or in Chinese Ge-Yang, are a branch of the Kradai family spoken in southern China and in northern Vietnam. They have only recently been described in any detail. Several of them have consonant clusters where other Kradai languages have single consonants, and one of them, Buyang, has disyllables for these words. This has been used to support a proposed connection with the Austronesian family.

  • Kra languages, or in Chinese Ge-Yang, are a branch of the Kradai family spoken in southern China and in northern Vietnam. They have only recently been described in any detail. Several of them have consonant clusters where other Kradai languages have single consonants, and one of them, Buyang, has disyllables for these words. This has been used to support a proposed connection with the Austronesian family. The name Kra comes from the word *kʰra "human", which appears as kra, ka, fa, ha in various Kra languages. Benedict (1942) used the compound Ka-Dai for the Kra and Hlai languages taken together, and the term is retained by Ethnologue, which includes one of the Hlai languages within Kra.
  • Кадайские языки (гэян) — одна из ветвей тай-кадайских языков. Распространены на севере Вьетнама и юге Китая, главным образом в горных районах. Родство с тайскими, весьма вероятно, но не доказано из-за недостатка материала.
  • 仡央语族是侗台语系的一支，又称Kra。分布在贵州省中部、西部、云南省文山壮族苗族自治州、广西西部和越南北部边境地区。使用人数很少。使用仡央语族的总人数不超过5万人，部分语言濒临灭绝。 仡央得名于仡佬[klau˥]和布央[puo˩ʔjaːŋ˦˨]，分别是仡佬人和布央人的自称。Kra（*kʰra）是对仡央语族“人”这个单词的构拟。仡佬可能是这个词的一种形式。白保羅造的卡岱（Kadai）一词中的卡（Ka）是Kra的另一种形式。
