Guiyang Miao, also known as Guiyang Hmong, is a Miao language of China . It is named after Guiyang County, Guizhou, though not all varieties are spoken there. The endonym is Hmong, a name it shares with the Hmong language.
Classification
Guiyang was given as a subgroup of Western Hmongic in Wang (1985).[3] Matisoff (2001) separated the three varieties as distinct Miao languages, not forming a group. Wang (1994) adds another two minor, previously unclassified varieties.[4]
- Northern
- Southern
- Southwestern
- Northwestern (Qianxi 黔西)
- South-Central (Ziyun 紫云)
Mo Piu, spoken in northern Vietnam, may be a divergent variety of Guiyang Miao.[5]
Representative dialects of Guiyang Miao include:[6]
- Baituo 摆托, Huaxi District, Guiyang
- Tieshi 铁石, Qianxi County
- Zhongba 中坝, Changshun County
