      Simultaneous membership of Tai-Kadai in Li Fang-kuei's Sino-Tibetan and Benedict'sAustro-Tai had posed a problem to Zhengzhang, as he had found both of these mutually exclusive proposals to be well-grounded: Sagart's 1990 suggestion that Chinese and Austronesian are genetically related, soon supported by Xing Gongwan, provided a solution to the conundrum, leading Zhengzhang to the present proposal.

    • 1966,Paul K. Benedict, “Austro-Thai”, inBehaviour Science Notes, volume 1, number 4,New Haven:Human Relations Area Files,→DOI, page230:
      One striking illustration will suffice here: the writer had not even included IN°kutu, Thai (T)°hraw "head louse"; in his list of possible correspondences, but the KS forms (Suitu, Maktau, Thentiu) led him to reconstruct T°[t]hraw, and he was delighted to uncover OBkat "lice"; he was then able to interpret the already recognized Li cognatesau~su as a development from a°tl- initial cluster, exactly paralleling IN°təlu "3", Liśu~su, and on this basis was able to reconstructAustro-Thai (AT)°kut(a)lu.
    • 2005 November 24,L[awrence] A. Reid, “Austro-Tai Hypotheses”, in Keith Brown, editor,Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics, second edition,Elsevier Science,→DOI,→ISBN, page609:
      Sagart rejected the possibility that Proto-Kra-Dai and Proto-Austronesian are sister languages, therefore rejecting theAustro-Tai hypothesis in its original formulation.
