This list is derived from Hoàng Văn Ma's Swadesh (200) word list of Cao Bằng Tày, with a few words from various examples given in other sections of his paper.

Cao Bằng Tày has a total of 6 tones:

• 1 = 53, falling tone
• 2 = 34, slight rising tone
• 3 = 43, slight falling tone
• 4 = 33, mid tone
• 5 = 21, mid-low falling tone
• 6 = 25, rising tone

Hoàng Văn Ma's Swadesh (200) word list is missing some numerals.
