On April 23, 2013, I visited the Wai Gelao 歪仡佬 of Dingjiapo 丁家坡, Mugang Village 木杠村, Muyang Town 木央镇, Funing County, Yunnan, China. Zhang Tingjin 张庭金, 83, could only remember several kinship terms in the Wai Gelao language.

She also reported that “big brother 大哥” in Green Gelao of Laozhai 老寨, Mabo Village 马波村 is a33 wai33.

The Wai Gelao kinship terms that Zhang gave me are as follows.
