Usage by Country Home Speakers: Myanmar Background Shan is spoken with regional dialect differences, but dialects are close linguistically. Tai-Khae (Khe) may be a dialect. The Tai Mao have their own script, and southern Shan is traditionally written with a Burmese/Myanmar-like script which does not distinguish tone or some vowels.
