blang

Middle Vietnamese

Etymology

Attested in the Dictionarium Annamiticum Lusitanum et Latinum (1651), a dictionary based chiefly on the Northern dialects.

The Middle Vietnamese form(s) ancestral to the modern Central-Southern Vietnamese form, although technically not explicitly attested, should be phonologically identical to the Northern Middle Vietnamese form here. The modern Central-Southern form is listed as "descendant" in this entry for convenience.
