Information source and comments on the tonal status of the language
Biao, the easternmost of the Tai-Kadai languages, is spoken by the Biao people (标人) of Huaiji County (怀集县), Guangdong, China. The Shidong (诗洞) dialect is used. Liang considers Lakkia and Biao to be Kam-Sui languages (Liang 2002:159-160). [URL: https://lpan.eva.mpg.de/austronesian/language.php?id=751]
