Source/Author:  Wardlaw & Edmondson 
Identifiers:  ISO-639-3:lha  Glottocode: laha1250 
Notes:  Source: Wardlaw, Terrance Randall. A phonological comparison between two varieties of Laha: Syllable constituents and tone in Ta Mit and Noong Lay Laha. M.A. Thesis, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2000.

Spoken in Tà Mít Commune, Than Uyên District, Lào Cai, Vietnam.

level: /33/
rising: /24/
falling: /42/
rising-falling: /243/
falling-rising: /423/ 
Problems:  Data is scant, as this variety had only been documented by Edmondson in the late 1990's.
