摘　　要：侗台语族包括壮泰、侗水、黎和仡央四个语支,共约二、三十种语言。它们分布在东起中国广东、广西、海南等省(区),西至印度阿萨姆邦,北到四川的金沙江,南抵泰国南部的一大片互相毗连的地区。总人口约有五、六千万之多。这些语言的语音结构相似,语法体系大致相同,同源词较多。无疑,它们有着亲密的同源关系。语言、人文、历史等事实证明侗台民族的先民过去曾在广西和云南东南部、贵州南部、广东西部一带长期居住,滋生繁息,后来因为战乱和寻找更适合居住的区域而迁徙到海南岛、越南北部、泰国、老挝和印度阿萨姆邦等地。The Kam-tai（侗泰） language family includes the Zhuang-thai（壮泰）, Dong-sui（侗水）, Li（黎） and the Geyang（仡央） branches. There are more than twenty languages in this language family. They spread to the areas east from Guangxi（广西）, G uangdong（广东）, Hainan（海南） of China, west to Assam State of India, and north of Jinsha（金沙） River in Sichuan（四川） province of China, south to the southern parts of Thailand. The total population is about sixty million. In these languages the phonetic structure is similar, the grammar is almost the same. And there are a lot of cognates in their vocabularies. It is no doubt that these languages have close cognate relationship. These people＇s ancestors used to live and development in the areas of Guangxi（广西） and southeast of Yunnan（云南） and the southern part of Guizhou（贵州）, the western part of Guangdong（广东） from the languages, culture and history. Because of wars and looking for the best living places, the people of Li（黎）, Thai（泰） and Laos（老挝） etc. moved gradually to Hainan（海南） Island, north of Vietnam, Thailand, Laos（老挝） and the Assam State of India.
