Kiong Nai (or Jiongnai Chinese: 炯奈 jiǒngnài) is a divergent Hmongic (Miao) language spoken in Jinxiu County Guangxi China. The speakers’ autonym is pronounced [kjɔ̄ŋ nāi] or [kjaŋ˧˩ nɛ˧˩]; kjɔŋ means ‘mountain’ while nai means ‘people’ (Meng 2001:1). Mao & Li (2002) consider it to be most closely related to She.
