In Chinese, the shrikes are known as 伯勞 (also written 博勞) or sometimes 伯勞鳥 ('bolao bird'). is a single, multi-syllabic word in Chinese. The characters used to write it indicate sound, not meaning (the literal meaning is the nonsensical 'uncle labour' or 'broad labour' respectively).
An old name is 鵙 . Although it has disappeared from ordinary modern usage, this word is widely used by naturalists to form the names of birds in which the word 'shrike' is a component (e.g., 'shrike-babbler').
