Notes:  Li Xulian [李旭练]. 1999. A Study of Lai (Bolyu) [倈语硏究]. Beijing: Minzu University.

The variety investigated is that of Changfa Township (长发乡), Longlin County (隆林县), Guangxi, China. There are some differences from Jerold Edmondson's "English-Bolyu glossary" (1995). The Bolyu of Guangxi are officially classified as ethnic Gelao. Bolyu has many loanwords with Gelao; also, the Bolyu people may have originally migrated from western Guizhou in predominantly Gelao-speaking territories.
