Abstract Background Genetic polymorphism and haplotype distribution characteristics analysis of mitochondrial DNA in Chinese Guangdong Liannan Yao group was conducted in this study, to provide genetic basis for tracing the origin and historical migration of Liannan Yao people.Results 46 mutation sites were found, and among which single nucleotide transition was the most commonly observed variant (86.17%). Multiple (sub)haplogroups were detected in Liannan Yao ethnic group, among which haplogroup D was the most common haplogroup (29.80%), and the least were C and Y(0.48% respectively). Conclusions The Liannan Yao population had the commonalities of the ethnic groups in southern China, but it was significantly different from other Chinese ethnic populations. The present results revealed that Liannan Yao ethnic group was genetically closer related to Fujian She ethnic population, Yunnan Yao population, and Hunnan Miao population. The data enriched the Chinese mtDNA database and provided a reference for forensic identification and screening for potential pathogenic mutations.

This paper introduces the Kam version of the Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (LITMUS-MAIN). Kam is a minority language in southern China which belongs to the Kam-Tai language family and is spoken by the Kam ethnic minority people. Adding Kam to MAIN not only enriches the typological diversity of MAIN but also allows researchers to study children’s narrative development in a sociocultural context vastly distinctly different from the frequently examined WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) societies. Moreover, many Kam- speaking children are bilingual ethnic minority children who are “left-behind” children living in Mainland China, growing up in a unique socio-communicative environment.
