What language does this name "Rau" come from? The Chinese character listed is "liao" in standard Mandarin; I'd expect an l- initial in almost all Chinese dialects. It says "These peoples are inclined to call themselves as Rauz which means 'we' or 'our people'." Likewise, which language is "Rauz" from? I'm assuming the -z is some kind of Written Zhuang-style tone mark. Then there's a list. What is it a list of? Peoples who all use the autonym "Rau" or "Rauz"? In that case, we should present some kind of citation to show that that's what they call themselves. I mean, the article on Bouyei lists a bunch of their autonyms, and Rauz is not one of them (it does list a subgroup called lo 鲁; perhaps that's the same word?). It also seems to be the case that the people who are classified as Zhuang use a variety of autonyms. – Greg Pandatshang (talk) 21:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Sinocentric Bias
It is highly problematic to imply that the Lao people of Laos are "an ethnic group of China" or a mere sub-branch of an ethnic group of China. As a plethora of research suggests otherwise. This should be rephrased. 129.78.56.138 (talk) 22:33, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
