Xixiu Miao (Chinese: 西秀; pronounced approx. "she-show")[2] is a small Miao language of China that is closely related to Hmong: Hmong, Small Flowery Miao, and Xixiu are listed as the three local dialects of the Chuanqiandian Cluster of the West Hmongic languages.[3] There are only 300 speakers, in the Xixiu District of Anshun Prefecture, Guizhou Province.[1]

In Chinese, it is called 川黔滇方言川黔滇次方言第三土语 "the third local dialect of the Chuanqiandian subdialect of the Chuanqiandian dialect [of Miao]", but it is not the only variety of Miao to have gone by that description.
