 North Bahnaric languages   (Site not responding. Last check: )
There are probably more than 100,000 active speakers of NB languages, and they are still in a reasonably healthy state linguistically because the people have strongly resisted (at terrible cost) integration into Vietnamese society, although that tendency is coming under greater strain as mass migration of Vietnamese into the highlands is increasing.
The situation is complicated by the position of Sedang - it is a very influential language with some internal dialectal variation, and languages such as Tadrah and Katua may be better treated as varieties of Sedang, but published materials are not sufficient to investigate such questions.
Phonologically NB is very unusual - the languages have developed a contrast between breathy and modal voice, but it is not associated with voicing of initial consonants or the manner of articulation of finals, instead it seems to emerged from inherent features of vowel articulation that became marked once particular vowel shifts occurred.

However, some languages treat roundedness and backness separately, such as French and German (with front rounded vowels), most Uralic languages (has a rounding contrast for /o/ and front vowels), Turkic languages (with an unrounded /u/), Vietnamese (with back unrounded vowels), and Korean (with a contrast in both front and back vowels).
Vowels are especially important to the structures of words in languages that have very few consonants (like Polynesian languages such as Maori languageMaori and Hawaiian languageHawaiian), and in languages whose inventory of vowels is larger than its inventory of consonants.

Such issues are especially pertinent to scholars working on languages whose history is still in the early stages of reconstruction since much of the methodology in historical linguistics is not well codified.
Yan-nha?u is the language of the Crocodile Islands and the Wessels (including parts of Elcho Island); there has been very little previous research on the language (and some that has appeared under "Nha?u" or "yanha?u" is very different from the language I am recording).
It has been said that no language changes faster than a proto-language, and in the intervening period a great deal of new descriptive data on non-Pama-Nyungan languages has accumulated, as well as careful sifting of complex data, which has led many of the authors to completely revise or develop their arguments since the original workshop.

 Introduction to Sinitic-Vietnamese Studies - dchph
In this paper, however, except for that broad classification of the Austroasiatic linguistic family minus the Vietnamese language and those descents of the languages which "were once spoken much more widely in China”, the same concept is used to refer to a smaller scale of a linguistic sub-family.
As defined earlier, that sub-class confines only on those languages that were originally evolved from ancient languages of the Yue peoples, which are inherited and spoken by those those ethnic groups still living in the southern part of China, from which Vietnamese has emerged as a special case of total siniticization.
That is true in the context that languages are not fossilized and constantly in dynamic change to evolve from primitive to sophisticated stages, especially for those that must have undergone drastic change from toneless consonantal clusters to tonal system to differentiate meanings, in this case, monosyllabic ancient Chinese.
