3. Language

Bai language is the national homonym of Bai people.

Generally speaking, Chinese national linguists believe that Bai language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family of Sino-Tibetan language family, but some researchers believe that Bai language is more closely related to Chinese.

After the investigation of Bai language in 1950s, Bai language was divided into Dali (South), Jianchuan (Middle) and Nujiang (North).

Among them, Nujiang dialect was originally called Bijiang dialect, but it was renamed Nujiang dialect because of the cancellation of Bijiang County in Nujiang Prefecture in 1986.

There is also a new opinion that the three dialects of Bai language should be renamed as western (Nujiang), central (Jianchuan) and eastern (Dali).

Step 4 talk

Bai people have two national languages, namely, the old white language and the new white language.

The old vernacular Chinese was developed on the basis of Chinese characters, while the new vernacular Chinese was created by phonography after the founding of New China.
