East and Southeast Asian Poetic Genres

Verse genres of Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and the wider East Asian poetic world, including the Korean akjang that served as lyrics of court music, the Vietnamese folk poetry ca dao, the Thai nirat of farewell and longing on a journey, and the death poem written in the Sinosphere at the moment of dying. A genre belongs here when its cited article places it in the poetry of East Asia or Southeast Asia outside the Chinese and Japanese groups. It excludes the classical Chinese genres and the Japanese genres, which have their own groups.
