WEITERE KOMMENTARE		"Because of lack of documentation prior to 1980, the Xiandao people were incldued in the unclassified national minority category. Since 1980 they have been classified as a part of the Achang nationality. Xiandao people don't agree with this classification; they believe they are different from Achang and should be an independent group. However, the Xiandao language is genetically very close to the Achang language. ..." (Tsung and Dai 2005:179)
