General
Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Pinyin readings reflect standard Mandarin usage; for some dialect alternative names it may be of little practical use, especially for South China. Many Korean glosses are highly tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.
The leafbirds are known in Chinese as 叶鹎 or 'leaf bulbuls', suggesting a resemblance to the bulbuls.
