| | Austro-Asiatic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, no evidence for this classification has ever been published, and it remains speculative. | | | It is widely believed that the Austroasiatic languages are the autochthonous languages of Southeast Asia and eastern India, and that the other languages of the region, including the Indo European, Tai-Kadai, and Sino-Tibetan languages, are the result of later migrations of people. | | | Ethnologue identifies 168 Austroasiatic languages, of which 147 are Mon-Khmer languages and 21 are Munda languages. |

| | Thomas Jones, in 1841 wrote the language in Roman scripts and the people accepted it. | | | It is related to the Mon-Khmer group of languages, and unrelated to the Mundari branch of the Austroasiatic family, which is widespread in East-Central India (Jharkhand state). | | | The language is also spoken by a number of people in the hill districts of Assam bordering with Meghalaya and by a sizable population of people living in Bangladesh close to the border of India. |

languages belong, and of Austroastiatic prehistory and the possible Austroastiatic Urheimat or proto-homeland. | | | This is the entry on Mon-Khmer languages in the Dutch encyclopaedia. |

| | However this view was based on typological considerations and has not been supported by historical reconstruction. | | | Because it was a prehistoric culture, the location of the original Austroasiatic homeland is not known, but some linguists speculate that it was in the hills of southern Yunnan in China, between 4,000 and 6,000 years ago. | | | In all other cases they are minority languages, spoken in single villages by only a few hundred people as well as in communities of several million people. |

| | As the national language of the majority ethnic group, Vietnamese is spoken throughout Vietnam by the Vietnamese people as well as by ethnic minorities. | | | Therefore Vietnamese has often been claimed to be a topic-prominent language (Thompson 1991). | | | Vietnamese is generally said to be part of the Viet-Muong (or Vietic) grouping of the Mon-Khmer branch of the Austroasiatic language family, a family that also includes Khmer, spoken in Cambodia, as well as various tribal and regional languages, such as the Munda languages, spoken in northeastern India, and others in southern China. |

| | Mon-Khmer Languages History Summary |
| | Many lesser-known Mon-Khmer languages have never been written down, while for some of these languages writing systems have been developed, but are not in widespread use. | | | However, the question of whether there really is a Mon-Khmer family, as opposed to Austroasiatic, and what languages belong in it, is far from clear, and views changed many times in the course of the twentieth century. | | | The confusion had arisen because Chamic languages had been in intimate contact with Mon-Khmer languages such as Bahnar and Katu for such a long time that they had borrowed many words and even changed the form of Malay words to resemble Mon-Khmer words. |

| | One or two thousand years ago, the elite people in Chinese South surely could speak/write some form of "Chinese", but the mass, the majority of people were speaking in languages very different from "Chinese". | | | Søren Christian Egerod has also mentioned crossbow in Chinese as coming from Austroasiatic, maybe one could trace a little bit more into his reasoning or sources. | | | But one thing is: when there is uniformity in a group of several languages, it probably means a certain social power structure existed, probably in the form of a kingdom or mini-empire. |
