This list was used for a survey of basic vocabulary of 17 language varieties spoken in the border region between China and Vietnam. The list itself references an earlier list by Shintani and Yang 1990, which itself goes back to an even earlier larger list of concepts used for lexical field work of Chinese dialects. The last two lists are not yet available for the Concepticon, but we add the reference number in the column Shintani1990 (items with ID 999999 seem to indicate that this concept does not occur in the master list and was added for the survey).
