Shanke dialect

Extracted from the Wikipedia article She Chinese.

Classification

Shanke dialect and She language speakers have separate histories and identities, although both are officially classified by the Chinese government as She people. The Dongjia of Majiang County, Guizhou are also officially classified as She people, but speak a Western Hmongic language closely related to Chong'anjiang Miao (重安江苗语), which is different from both Shanke dialect and She language.
