[edit] name change

Originally, the Kadai languages were the "Thai-related" languages of China, such as Kam-Sui. It was later realized that SE Asian Tai was a subset of Kadai, since it's closely related to Kam-Sui. There are two solutions to this: narrow the definition of Kadai until it excludes Kam-Sui and Tai, which was the option chosen for the Ethnologue classification used in this article, or rename the whole family to Kadai. The later option is chosen by several linguists who work in SE Asia. The article should reflect the dual use of the name Kadai. kwami 09:43, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
