The Chadong language (also called Chaodong, Chinese: 茶洞語) is a Kam–Sui language spoken mainly in Chadong Township, Lingui County, Guilin, northeastern Guangxi, China.[2] It is most closely related to the Maonan language. Chadong has only been recently described by Chinese linguist Jinfang Li in the 1990s and 2000s.
Speakers are classified by the Chinese government as ethnic Han.[2]
