They claim that the area become Vietnamese-speaking only between the seventh and ninth centuries AD,[9] or even as late as the tenth century, as a result of immigration from the south, i.e., modern central Vietnam.[10][11] According to Han-Tang records, east of Jiaozhi and the coast of Kwangdong, Kwangsi was heavily populated by ethnic Li people (whom Chinese contemporaries called Lǐ 俚 and Lǎo 獠).[12][13][14] Even so, Michael Churchman acknowledged that "The absence of records of large-scale population shifts indicates that there was a fairly stable group of people in Jiaozhi throughout the Han–Tang period who spoke Austroasiatic languages ancestral to modern Vietnamese."[15] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1309.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1309.txt
