The Zhuang languages (autonym: Vahcuengh (pre-1982: Vaƅcueŋƅ Sawndip: 话壮) from vah ‘language’ and Cuengh ‘Zhuang'; simplified Chinese: 壮语; traditional Chinese: 壯語; pinyin: Zhuàngyǔ) are any of various Tai languages natively spoken by the Zhuang people. They are an ethnic rather than linguistic group. Most speakers live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region within the People’s Republic of China where Standard Zhuang is an official language.
