The
Xong language (
dut Xongb, spoken by
Qo Xiong people), also known as
Xiangxi Miao (湘西
Western Hunan Miao),
Eastern Miao,
Meo,
Red Miao, and
North Hmongic, is a
dialect cluster of
Hmongic languages of China. Xong was given as a branch of
Hmongic in Strecker (1987). Matisoff (2001) split it into two languages, reflected in
Ethnologue, but Matisoff (2006) lists only one.
