Notes:  Source: Unpublished manuscript from Jerold A. Edmondson.

Red Gelao is spoken in the villages of Na Khê and Bìch Ðich in Yên Minh District, Hà Giang Province, Vietnam. A few speakers were also found in Malipo County, Yunnan, China, and there may also be speakers in Guizhou, China. In Vietna, only around 50 speakers are left. 
Problems:  Data is highly limited, since the consultants were often only semi-speakers of Red Gelao.
