Description: Caijia is an under-described and critically endangered language spoken by less than 1,000 people in the northwest of Guizhou province in southwestern people's republic of China, mainly in Hezhang and Weining counties of Bijie prefecture, as well as in Liupanshui, the neighboring prefecture of Bijie. As for the genetic affiliation, Caijia remains unclassified or controversial. On the basis of lexical evidence, some scholars in China proposes that Caijia is related to Bai, the affiliation of which is also controversial. Some other scholars consider Caijia as a Chinese dialect with impact from ethnic languages at older layer, while some others consider it as a Tibeto-Burman language. However, the word order of Caijia is SVO, while Tibeto-Burman languages are usually SOV order. Caijia is very close in many features of its features to Sinitic Languages. On the basis of Swadesh expanded list, 54% of them show directly phonetic connection with Chinese. According to the local scholar's research, 34.75% of 800 common words are phonetically related to the Hezhang dialect of Southwestern Mandarin. However, in the remaining 65.25%, which are different from Hezhang Southwestern Mandarin, there are still words which can be traced back to Middle or Old Chinese. By contrast there are only 10.63% of the words are related to the local Yi dialect which belongs to Tibeto-Burman family. Caijia is a language of SVO order, but the order in constituents in NP shows certain degree of turbulence. Demonstrative, adjective and relative precede the head noun, while numeral and classifier follow the head noun.
