Palaungic languages

Palaungic languages
also called  Palaung-wa,  

      branch of the Mon-Khmer group of the Austroasiatic languages. Palaungic languages are spoken primarily in Myanmar (Burma) and secondarily in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Yunnan province in China. The members of the Palaungic branch are somewhat controversial but are generally given as Kano' (Danau, or Danaw), Mang, and sometimes Lamet (which are often grouped in the Khmuic branch (Khmuic languages)), as well as the many languages classified within the Palaung-Riang, Angkuic, and Waic subbranches of Palaungic.
