Sino-Tibetan (Tibeto-Burman) Lolo–Burmese Loloish Hanoish Bisoid Sangkong

Sangkong (Chinese: 桑孔; autonym: saŋ˥qʰoŋ˥) is a Loloish language spoken in China by the Hani people in Xiaojie Township 小街乡, Jinghong County. They are called Buxia (布夏) by the local Dai people (Sangkongyu Yanjiu).

Li (2003) covers the Sangkong dialect of Manwanwa village 曼宛洼寨, Menglong Town 勐龙镇, Jinghong County. It may be the same as the Muda language. You Weiqiong (2013:172) reports that Buxia 布夏 (Sangkong 桑孔) is spoken in 7 villages of Menglong 勐龙.

Sangkong uses a dichotomous verb pronominalization rule where ŋa and ʑe represent 1st and non-1st person marking, respectively.
