(燕雀科 Yàn què kē

ka Họ Sẻ đông)
(Note: Some CJV Family and subfamily names under Monroe and Sibley are only tentative at this stage)
Under Sibley and Monroe, the Fringillidae (finches and allies) include the finches and buntings, bringing together the previously separate Fringillidae and Emberizidae. The more generally accepted Chinese term for the Fringillidae is 雀科 Què kē. Here I have followed McKinnon and Phillipps in calling them 燕雀科 Yàn què kē. The main subfamilies are:
Fringillinae Finches (brambling, bullfinch, hawfinch, grosbeaks, crossbills, etc.)
Emberizinae Buntings.
The distribution of the Fringillidae in East Asia can be found at Tzung-Su Ding's Distribution of Fringillidae in East Asia.
