Standard variety and register of the Zhuang Tai (Kra-Dai) language cluster
Standard Zhuang (autonym: Vahcuengh Biucinj, Zhuang pronunciation: [βa˧ɕuːŋ˧ piːu˨˦ɕin˥]; pre-1982 autonym: Vaƅcueŋƅ Biucinɜ; Sawndip: 話壯標準; simplified Chinese: 标准壮语; traditional Chinese: 標準壯語; pinyin: Biāozhǔn Zhuàngyǔ) is the official standardized form of the Zhuang languages, which are a branch of the Northern Tai languages. Its pronunciation is based on that of the Yongbei Zhuang dialect of Shuangqiao Town in Wuming District, Guangxi with some influence from Fuliang, also in Wuming District, while its vocabulary is based mainly on northern dialects. The official standard covers both spoken and written Zhuang. It is the national standard of the Zhuang languages, though in Yunnan a local standard is used.
