Data was collected from Tai Yuan informants in 7 locations (2 informants per point). In Thailand, the data was collected from 4 locations: northern area of Chiang Mai Province, southern area of Chiang Mai Province, Nan Province, and Saraburi Province. In the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the data was collected from 2 locations: Xaignabouli Province and Luang Prabang Province. In the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, the data was collected from 1 location: Myawaddy.
