Notes:	Guangxi Minority Languages Orthography Committee. 2008. Vocabularies of Guangxi ethnic languages [广西民族语言方音词汇]. Beijing: Nationalities Publishing House [民族出版社]. The selected variant is that of Xiachong 下冲屯, Meji/Moji village 么基村, De'e township 德峨乡, Guangxi. Although there are 500 ethnic Duoluo Gelao residing in Longlin County, only fewer than 10 speakers of Duoluo Gelao remain, since most ethnic Duoluo Gelao have shifted to Southwestern Mandarin. The informants are Guo Xiuyu 郭秀玉, 73, Guo Meli 郭么利, 83, and Guo Lanying 郭兰英, 42. They are multilingual in Southwestern Mandarin, Zhuang, and Miao.
