  • Lawa (La'wa, L'wa) is a Mon–Khmer language of Thailand. There are two distinct varieties or dialects of Lawa, considered to be separate languages; their names in the Ethnologue are Eastern Lawa and Western Lawa. They are spoken in Lawa villages in the provinces of Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. Linguistically, Lawa belongs to the Palaungic branch of the Mon-Khmer family of languages, which is part of the Austro-Asiatic super-family. Eastern Lawa is distinct from Western Lawa despite being highly cognate because the two languages are not mutually understandable based on consistent testimonies of Eastern and Western Lawa speakers and testing by SIL. There are two distinct dialects spoken among the Eastern Lawa. These dialects have differences in pronunciation and some lexeme differences. The differences, however, do not present any difficulty in comprehension between speakers of these dialects, due to their close interaction. The main dialect is from Bo Luang, (known locally as juang ra), which is by far the largest Eastern Lawa village, with a population of approximately 3,000 people. Bo Luang is spoken in 16 villages of Bo Luang and Bo Sali subdistricts in Hot District, Chiang Mai Province. The other dialect is from Bo Sangae, (known locally as juang tiang). Eastern Lawa has a high level of language vitality and is spoken in the home by all ages. Government education, village notices and official business are usually undertaken in Central Thai. Most Eastern Lawa are bi-lingual with at least Northern Thai, although there are some older people who will reply in Lawa when spoken to in Northern Thai. The younger generation tend to be fluent in Central Thai because of the education system and mostly fluent in Northern Thai due to the inter-marriages between Lawa and Northern Thais. (en)
  • 拉威语是泰国一种南亚语系语言。拉威语有两种方言,一说是两种语言,《民族语》的名称是东拉威语和西拉威语。它们分布在泰国北部地区夜丰颂府和清迈府的拉威族村庄。 拉威语属于南亚语系佤德昂语支佤语支。 东拉威语和西拉威语间无法互通,这一判断主要基于东西拉威使用者和SIL发起的试验提供的一致证据。 东拉威内部又有不同方言,这些方言间有些发音和词位差异,但不会在理解上形成障碍。主要方言来自Bo Luang,(当地称作juang ra),迄今是最大的东拉威语村庄,人口约3千人。Bo Luang分布在清迈府Bo Luang和Bo Sali的16个村。另一方言来自Bo Sangae, (当地称作juang tiang)。 东拉威语仍有相当高的语言活力,且在家被所有年龄段的人使用。政府教育、乡村公告和商业往来一般用中部泰语。大部分东拉威人是双语者,会说北部泰语,有些老人会以拉威语回应北部泰语问话。年青一代倾向于受中部泰语影响,因为拉威人与泰沅间的通婚造成的北部泰语的通行。 (zh)
