waxianghua language
The WaxianghuaLanguage is a language of unknown classification from China. SIL code: WXA. ISO 639-2: mis. Population: 300,000 (1995 Milliken). Region: A 6,000 square km. area in western Hunan Province, Wuling Mts., including Yuanling, Chunxi, Jishou, Guzhang, and Dayong. Alternate names: XIANGHUA, WOGANG. Comments: It differs greatly from both Southwestern Mandarin (Xinan Guanhua) and Xiang Chinese (Hunanese), but is relatively uniform within itself. Neighboring Han Chinese, Miao and Tujia people do not understand it. Some view it as a special variety of Chinese, others as a minority language, perhaps related to Miao.
