     Let us look at the example of Lianshan County. Chapter Two noted that under one fifth of the Zhuangzu living in Guangdong Province are in Lianshan. That is, four-fifths of the Guangdong Zhuangzu live in areas that are not under autonomous Zhuangzu local government but rather under the prefectural and county branches of the Guangdong Provincial Government. For these large numbers of Zhuangzu people, their provincial and sub-provincial governments are not tasked with operationalizing the constitutional language freedom at all. Rather, all Zhuangzu people living outside the nominally autonomous Zhuangzu territories - Lianshan, Wenshan and GZAR - fall outside the scope of the language governance framework.
