The
Austronesians in China II
But it seems increasingly likely that
the Austronesian language family is found in China as the
Daic (Tai-Kadai) languages

proposal by Ostapirat on the relations
between Daic with Austronesian will no doubt be
controversial. Sagart has argued that this
simply means the Daic speakers ‘are’ Austronesians,
a branch of PMP that came back to the
mainland.
