Why?

The name of the language
- It should be used consistently throughout the title and the article.
- Replacing "Tai Lü" by "Tai Lue" (obviously without thinking) had destroyed an interwiki link.
Tones: The original version, "some linguists distinguish nine ..." makes more sense than an unqualified assertion that there are nine tones, because in fact there are only six different tone contours, not nine, and only three of those six occur in checked syllables.
"Yunnanese" isn't a scientific name for a Chinese dialect, and the addition of "Yunnanese" doesn't add any information.

Lue or Lü

I think the spelling should be Lue not Lü for the following reasons

Linguists such as John Hartmann, David Strecker and others use Lue
ü may give people the mistaken impression that the sound is a front high rounded vowel when it is in fact a high back unrounded vowel.
The Royal Thai system of transciption uses ue ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_General_System_of_Transcription ) There is one major flaw in my opinion with that transcription though in using o for /aw/ vowels.

Moved to Tai Lue language. Tai Lue is now used by the vast majority of linguists, including Bill Hanna https://www.amazon.com/Dai-Lue-English-Dictionary-William-Hanna/ — Stevey7788 (talk) 06:57, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency in number of tones permitted for checked syllables?

Well, I haven't much more to say. Contrastive tones in unchecked syllables section claims three while Contrastive tones in checked syllables section claims two. Could be two different analyses but I feel like it at least requires a bit of explanation. -PerkeleenHullu (talk) 17:04, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also Menglian Dai, Lahu and Va Autonomous County?

Isn't it also spoken in Menglian Dai, Lahu and Va Autonomous County? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 15:55, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
