	Tsat language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		'''Tsat''' (also known as Utsat, Utset, Huihui, Hui, or Hainan Cham) is a language spoken on Hainan Island in China.
		Tsat is a member of the Malayo-Polynesian group within the Austronesian language family, and is related to the Cham languages, originally from the coast of present-day Vietnam.
		Unusually for a Malayo-Polynesian language, Tsat has developed into a solidly tonal language, probably as a result of areal linguistic effects and contact with Chinese, Hlai/Li, and the other tonal languages of Hainan.

		It is part of the Austroasiatic language family, of which it has the most speakers by a significant margin (three to four times the number of speakers of Khmer, the second most spoken Austroasiatic language).
		Vietnamese is generally said to be part of the Viet-Muong grouping of the Mon-Khmer branch of the Austroasiatic language family, a family that also includes Khmer, spoken in Cambodia, as well as various tribal and regional languages, such as the Munda languages, spoken in northeastern India, and others in southern China.
		In fact, as the vernacular language of Vietnam gradually grew in prestige toward the beginning of the second millennium, the Vietnamese language was written using Chinese characters (see Chu Nom) adapted to write Vietnamese, in a similar pattern as used in Japan (see kanji), Korea and other countries in the Chinese cultural sphere.

	History of the Chamic Languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		The Chamic languages of mainland Southeast Asia provide researchers today with a relatively clear window to the processes of language change and the effects of prolonged language contact between populations.
		By the early 20th century it was already being posited that there was a relationship between phonemic tone and the quality of onset (syllable initial) consonants in Vietnamese (Maspero, 1912), a phenomenon that was already being studied by scholars of Chinese since the middle of the 19th century (Edkins, 1853).
		The relative ease, with which the earlier stages of these languages can be reconstructed, as well as the considerable body of historical and archaeological data, means that researchers are in a position to devise a chronology for language change and relate it to length and intensity of inter-ethnic contact as described in the records.

		All three languages to be documented are undergoing rapid change under the influence of intense contact with Mandarin Chinese and other languages, and it is likely that all three will cease to be spoken within the next few decades.
		The three languages were chosen because they are genetically distinct (different families), typologically different (different types), and geographically distant from one another, sharing only their mutual contact with Chinese.

		Vietnamese ('''tiếng Việt''', tiếng Việt Nam, or Việt ngữ), a tonal language, is the national and official language of Vietnam (Việt Nam).
		Vietnamese, having developed an isolating morphology characteristic of monosyllabic languages, as evidenced by its rich tonal system and syllabic diphthongs and triphthongs meant to differentiate one-syllable words, nonetheless retains many features of a polysyllabic language, as evidenced by the fact that more than half of its vocabulary consists of multi-syllabic and compound words.
		As a result of a thousand years of Chinese domination, much of Vietnamese vocabulary relating to science and politics are derived from Chinese.
