Mjao language,as one of dialect of Miao language,has its own unique tone sandhi system:the proclitic is the tone change of the previous syllable caused by the tone influence of its additional words and the collocation of the same tone,and the right syllable tone sandhi generated by the lan-guage itself.However,it is rare that some words in the right syllable tone sandhi restore their original tone in a certain combination of words,showing a dynamic change,while some words have always maintained tone sandhi,showing static changes.Through analysis,it is believed that tone sandhi always follows the tone principle of"level,rising,falling and entering tones",and some tone sandhi rules are also driven by the principle of homophone alienation.
