Tai Meuay (/{{IPA|taj mɯaj}}/), Tai Meuy (/{{IPA|taj mɤːj}}/), or Tày Mười is a Southwestern Tai language spoken in Bolikhamxay Province, Laos. Phonological and anthropological evidence show that it is most closely related to the Tai Daeng (Red Tai) language. Tai Meuay also displays lexical similarities with Tay language varieties of Nghệ An Province, Vietnam.Pacquement, Jean. 2021.
