Correspondence is welcome and contributions will be given sympathetic consideration. (All correspondence to The Editor, Department of Anthropology, RSPacS, ANU, Box 4 GPO, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia.) Number Nine June 1990 ISSN 1032-500X The International Conference on Thai Studies, Kunming 1990 There was some question, in the post Tien An Men period, as to whether the conference would proceed. In January over forty members of Thammasart University faculty issued an open letter to the organizers, which in part read, A meeting in China at present would mean a tacit acceptance of the measures taken by the state, unless there will be an open critical review. Many north American colleagues privately expressed similar views. This Newsletter has made its views on Tien An Men quite clear, and we can sympathize with the position taken by our colleagues. Nevertheless, there seems to be some selectivity of outrage, when no word of protest was heard from some quarters about the continuing support given by the Chinese government to the murderous Khmer Rouge. This does not apply to the Thai academic community, sections of which were in the vanguard of the movement to reconsider Thai government policy on this issue.

Introduction The Northern Va language belongs to the Angkuic subgroup of the Palaungic branch of Austroasiatic (Hsiu 2015), and is spoken in Mojiang County of south-central Yunnan Province, China. The language name Va comes from the the speakers’ self-designated name (autonym), vaʔ⁵¹. Despite the speakers having the autonym vaʔ⁵¹, the Va language does not belong to the Waic subgroup. Va is also tonal unlike most Waic languages. Although this paper specifically describes Northern Va and not Southern Va, Northern Va will simply be referred to as Va in this paper. Unless noted otherwise, Va is used to Northern Va and not Southern Va specifically. Speakers of Va are classified as ethnic Bulang by the Chinese government, and are also locally referred to by neighboring ethnic groups as the Bulang people (Hsiu 2015). According to my informant, there are about 600 Va households comprising approximately 2,000 individuals in Taihe Administrative Village 太和行政村 in Jingxing Township 景星乡, Mojiang County, Yunnan Province, China.
