Short description: Hmong language of Guizhou, China

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.
