message: What exactly is the status of the flag that was added to the article? Is ist the flag of an administrative division, a political organisation? The byline is no sufficient explanation. —Babelfisch 03:10, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The byline was changed to "Flag of the de facto Wa State in Myanmar". That's not much better. The Wa State seems to have been merged with the Shan State after independence. Did the flag have official status before that merger? What does it stand for today? The question of the status of the flag is not really answered by the new byline. —Babelfisch 01:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: *Donald M. Seekins, (2006). Historical Dictionary of Burma (Myanmar). Scarecrow Press, . p.469: "They speak a language belonging to the Wa-Palaung subgroup of the Mon-Khmer language group; in recent years, heavy Chinese influence has resulted in the widespread use of Mandarin." (Google Books preview)
*Peoples of the World Foundation: "While most Wa can still speak their original language, many learn languages other than their own — especially Burmese and Mandarin."
*Myanmar Tourism website: "The Wa language only took a written form in 1957 and it is a very unique member of the Austroasiatic family of languages. Many Wa are bilingual and the working language of much of the Wa State is Putonghua/Mandarin Chinese."
To be expanded at a future date. --benlisquareT•C•E 12:03, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
