Chut languages
Austroasiatic language cluster of Vietnam and Laos From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chứt (Chut, Cheut) or Rục-Sách languages are a Vietic language cluster spoken by the Chứt peoples of Vietnam and Khammouane Province, Laos.
Classification
The following three Chứt subgroups have been tentatively identified in Babaev & Samarina (2021).[2]
- Mày, Rục, Sách
- Arem
- Kri, Maleng (Malieng); Kri and Maleng are listed as Western Vietic, rather than as part of the Chut phylogenetic group, by Alves & Sidwell (2021)[3]
Except for the semi-nomadic and sedentary agriculturalist Sach and the swidden agriculturalist Kri, the May, Ruc, Arem, and Maleng were all hunter-gatherers until the late 20th century.[2]
