Classification

The following three Chứt subgroups have been tentatively identified in Babaev & Samarina (2021).[2]

  • Mày, Rục, Sách
  • Arem
  • Kri, Maleng (Malieng); Kri and Maleng are listed as Western Vietic, rather than as part of the Chut phylogenetic group, by Alves & Sidwell (2021)[3]

Except for the semi-nomadic and sedentary agriculturalist Sach and the swidden agriculturalist Kri, the May, Ruc, Arem, and Maleng were all hunter-gatherers until the late 20th century.[2]
