Austro-Tai language family

Austro-Tai language family


[Relationships with other language families]
W. Schmidt of Austria proposed that the Austronesian and Austroasiatic languages ​​were related to each other, and combined them to form the Austric family, but this has not been scientifically proven. In recent years, P.K. Benedict of the United States has proposed the Austronesian family as a family of languages, arguing that the Austronesian languages ​​were related to the Thai languages ​​through the non-Chinese languages ​​of Cochinchina and Hainan Island (called Kadai languages), and has created the Austro-Tai family, but this is not yet an established theory.

[Thai languages]

... The Kham-Sui language group (Kham, Sui, Mak, Teng, etc.) found in the Chinese provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hunan is closely related to the Tai languages. The Tai languages ​​are generally considered to belong to the Sino-Tibetan family, but there is also the Austro-Tai theory, which links them to the Indonesian or Austronesian languages ​​via the Kadai language group (Rati, Laka, Kelao, and Li languages). In addition, there are also cases where the Kham-Sui language group is added to the Tai languages ​​to make it Kham-Tai languages, and the Kadai language group is also included in the classification as Tai-Kadai languages. ...

[他語族との関係]
 オーストリアのW.シュミットは,アウストロネシア語族とアウストロアジア語族が親縁関係にあったとし,両者を合わせてアウストリック語族なる名称を与えたが,科学的に証明されたわけではない。近年アメリカのベネディクトP.K.Benedictは,アウストロネシア語族がコーチシナや海南島の非漢語系の言語(カダイ諸語と呼ばれる)を介してタイ諸語と親縁関係があるとし,アウストロ・タイ語族を提唱しているが,いまだ定説とはなっていない。

【タイ諸語】より

… 中国の貴州,広西,湖南各省に分布するカム・スイ語群(カム,スイ,マク,テン語など)はタイ諸語と親縁関係にある。タイ諸語の系統はシナ・チベット語族に入れるのが通説であるが,別にカダイ語群(ラティ,ラカ,ケラオ,リーの諸語)を介してインドネシア語派ないしアウストロネシア語族と結びつけようとするアウストロ・タイ語族説もある。なお,タイ諸語に上記のカム・スイ語群を加え,カム・タイ諸語とし,さらにカダイ語群をも含めてタイ・カダイ諸語とする分類を行う場合もある。…
