Talk:Pakanic languages

Kemie and Kuan
Kemie appears to be a duplicate of Man Met (, see Palaungic languages). According to Chen (2003), Kemie (Khe Met) is the older endonym. The more recent one is Manmi (Ban Met). Ethnologue lists Manmi as an alternative name for Man Met. Kuan is also suspicious, as Li (2005) does not mention it and the alternative name, Damai, is the Buxing name for Khmus.

 * Ethnologue tends to be horrible at classifying Tai-Kadai and Austro-Asiatic languages. Completely unrelated languages sometimes pop up unexpectedly in their trees, and reduplications happen way too often. Thanks for the heads up. &mdash; Stevey7788 (talk) 02:52, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
