Lhao Vo, also known as Maru and Langsu (Chinese: 浪速), is a Burmish language of Burma with a few thousand speakers in China.
Distribution
Dai Qingxia (2005:3) reports 5,600 Langsu speakers in China. Many thousands more are dispersed across the eastern edge of Kachin State, Burma.
- Luxi City: Yingpan Township 营盘乡
- Lianghe County: Mengyang Township 勐养乡
- Longchuan County: Bangwai Township 邦外乡 and Jingkan Township 景坎乡
The Langsu people call themselves lɔ̃˧˩ vɔ˧˩ (Chinese: Lang'e 浪峨) (Dai 2003:3; Dai 2010:10)[3]
Langsong
The Langsong 浪宋 are found in Zaoyang 早阳 in Yunlong County, as well as in Baocun 表村, Laomo 老末, and Sancha 三岔.[4] They reportedly speak a highly endangered language that may be possibly related to Langsu.
