Why?

• The name of the language
  • It should be used consistently throughout the title and the article.
  • Replacing "Tai Lü" by "Tai Lue" (obviously without thinking) had destroyed an interwiki link.
• Tones: The original version, "some linguists distinguish nine ..." makes more sense than an unqualified assertion that there are nine tones, because in fact there are only six different tone contours, not nine, and only three of those six occur in checked syllables.
• "Yunnanese" isn't a scientific name for a Chinese dialect, and the addition of "Yunnanese" doesn't add any information.
