Pingtang Miao, named after Pingtang County (平塘 píngtáng) in which it is spoken, is a group of Miao language varieties of China.
Classification
The four varieties of Pingtang were listed as unclassified branches of Chuanqiandian Miao (Western Hmongic) in Wang (1983).[2] Li (2000) classified them together as one of eight branches of Western Hmongic,[3] a position maintained in Wu and Yang (2010).[4]
Varieties
There are four varieties of Pingtang according to Li (2000):
- North (Strecker's Pingtang Miao), 11,000 speakers
- East (Strecker's Dushan Miao), 4,000
- South (Strecker's Luodian–Pingyan Miao), 6,000
- West (Strecker's Wangmo–Luodian Miao a.k.a. Mhang), 3,000
These are at approximately the distance of the varieties of the other branches of West Hmongic, which Ethnologue assigned separate ISO codes.
