Pa Na (Chinese: 巴那语; pinyin: Bānàyǔ; autonym: pa53 na313) is a Hmongic language spoken by about 1,000 people in Shangpai (上排), Zhongpai (中排), and Xiapai (下排) of Chengbu County, and Huangshuangping (黄双坪), Suining County in Hunan, China. It is also called "Red Miao." Yoshihisa Taguchi (2012)[2] considers Pa Na to be most closely related to She and Jiongnai.
Yoshihisa Taguchi (2001) covers the Xiapai (下排) dialect of Pa Na.
