Hi,

Some details of Jiamao would be good in that article, but AFAICT Norquest classifies it as a Hlai language. — kwami (talk) 04:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * I have been reading Norquest's pdf file just today. He has a whole chapter on Jiamao. He says the Hlai words there are borrowings, and there is a lot of non-Kra-Dai vocabulary in Jiamao, which can't be connected so far to other families, so he calls Jiamao an isolate. Vladimir Martin

Thanks. Yes, I finally found a copy, and see that our inclusion of Jiamao in the Hlai article was unjustified. I've removed it, changed it to unclassified, and merged Hlai language with Hlai languages. Anything else that needs to be addressed? Thanks for the heads-up! — kwami (talk) 04:52, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

OK, I have looked at your changes, and they are good. I have just changed the word 'ethically' to 'ethnically'. Vladimir
