The Jui dialect of Po-ai is a member of the Northern group of Tai dialects which are known to form a special branch. A number of names has been suggested to designate this group, but none of them is too apt. Chung-chia (仲家 or Chung) is used by Chinese to designate the speakers of this dialect group in Kweichow, Chuang-chia (獞家, 撞家, 僮家, or Chuang) is used to designate the speakers of this group in Kwangsi, and Jui, 'Jui, 'Joi, etc. of which the name Dioi is but a poor phonetic rendering, are the native names according to the pronunciation of the dialects.
