It is a Tai language, related to Thai and Lao.
The term Yuan is still used for the distinctive Lannathai script, which is closely related to the old Thai Lue alphabet and the Lao religious alphabets.

There is evidence that the Karen of that period established a symbiotic relationship with the Yuan (Northern Thai) and may have moved across the river with some of them.
It was the Yuan were at that time ruling the areas along the eastern bank of the Salween River.
The Lawa (Lua’) were then moving out of certain areas in the Yuan principality (especially Mai) and it seems quite likely that the Yuan rulers welcomed the peace-loving Karen into the resulting vacuum.

 languagehat.com: TAI VS THAI 2.
One of the more annoying nomenclature problems in the world of language is that of the Tai (sometimes called "Thai") language family, whose most prominent member is Thai (sometimes called "Tai").
The two English words are both from the self-designation of T(h)ai-speakers; the orthographic distinction is basically a convenient device to differentiate language and family, although it also reflects the fact that the name is pronounced in some languages with an aspirated t and in some with an unaspirated one.
George L. Campbell's Concise Compendium of the World's Languages gives a nice, compact answer: "[Thai] is the most important member of the Tai family which also includes Lao, Shan, and Yuan." I nodded my head at Lao and Shan and shook it in bewilderment when I hit Yuan.
