Documentation
The 1996 Yangchun County Gazetteer (阳春县志) has just over a dozen Yangchun Pai Yao words that were transcribed in Chinese characters. According to the gazetteer, there were 13 semi-speakers remaining in the 1990s.[3] Hsiu (2023) reported that the language was extinct in 2019, with only one elderly rememberer able to provide a few dozen words.[2]
