Kiong Nai (or Jiongnai, Chinese: 炯奈语; pinyin: Jiǒngnàiyǔ) is a divergent Hmongic (Miao) language spoken in Jinxiu County, Guangxi, China. The speakers' autonym is pronounced [kjɔŋ33 nai33] or [kjaŋ31 nɛ31]; kjɔŋ33 means 'mountain', while nai33 means 'people'.[2] Mao & Li (2002) believe it to be most closely related to She.
