David Holm (2010)[Holm, David. 2010. "Linguistic Diversity along the China-Vietnam Border." In ''Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area'', Volume 33.2, October 2010.] lists the following Zhuang dialects of Jingxi County, and provides comparative word lists for them as well. Holm (2010) notes that Zhuang dialects have not diversified gradually within Jingxi County, but are the results of mass migrations from other parts of Guangxi and even from Vietnam during the past several centuries.
