The rGyalrongic languages also rendered Jiarongic constitute a branch of the Qiangic languages of Tibeto-Burman although Randy LaPolla (2003) proposes that it may be part of a larger Rung group. They are spoken in the province of Sichuan in China mainly in the autonomous Tibetan/Qiang prefectures of Kar-mdzes (Garzê 甘孜) and Rnga-ba (Ngawa 阿坝).
