Is Zhuang related? —suzukaze (t・c) 06:10, 3 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Very interesting question... Probably unlikely, for four reasons:


 * 1) Zhuang  is a compound word, per Baidu Baike and this Thai article. Specifically, the second link says:
 * dax-boh	ญาติผู้ใหญ่-พ่อ	'พ่อ'
 * i.e. dax-boh	senior_relative-father	'father'
 * Corroborated by Zhuang dictionaries:
 * dax－ 对长辈亲属称呼的词头 ～boh 爸爸；父亲 ～meh 妈妈
 * boh [方]dez；baz；baq；dax 父亲
 * The second element is from Proto-Tai *bo:ᴮ ("father").
 * 1) Min comparison data shows '丈夫' is the main word for 'man' in Min.
 * 2) Evidence that '丈夫' in Min Nan also means 'male'. This is written as 查埔囡仔 tsa-poo gín-á/ta-poo gín-á in 臺灣閩南語常用詞辭典.
 * 3) Geography.


 * Further insight: . Btw, the ping didn't work... Wyang (talk) 07:18, 3 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Wow, thanks for the comprehensive reply! So it's probably just a strange similarity (and the 丈夫 entry might need expansion). —suzukaze (t・c) 05:40, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
