BACKGROUND

Mijisa is a kind of dialect of Tujia Language(土家语in Chinese), which is an endangered language in southern China.Most of the native speakers of Mijisa lives in Baojing, a small county in Hunan Province. A linguist called Qingxia Dai (戴庆厦in Chinese)and his student Jing Tian (田静in Chinese)have ever gone to Xianren, a village in Baojing County, to study Mijisa. As a result, they published a monograph focusing on Mijisa in 2005.
