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
