Shan. @Kwamikagami complained it had no content. I'll add some soon. --RichardW57 (talk) 23:46, 12 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Keep. I've added a definition and a quotation. --RichardW57 (talk) 00:07, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
That's helpful, but could you add which tone, the way you do for consonants and vowels? kwami (talk) 00:09, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Not until you've converted your {{delete}} tags to {{rfd}} or {{rfv}}. Even then, it's not entirely a trivial matter to identify tones. There's a potential issue with identifying tone marks across languages or even across dialects. Most Shan has five tones, but northern Shan has six tones, and it's quite possible that the difference isn't simply that two of the six merged. Several of these tone marks are also used in Rumai Palaung; they may actually be translingual. --RichardW57m (talk) 12:55, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
