En (also known as Nùng Vên) is a Kra language spoken in Vietnam. Before its discovery in 1998, En language was undistinguished
from Nùng, which is a Central Tai language closely related to Zhuang. In the late 1990s, Vietnamese linguist Hoàng Văn Ma
had first recognized that it was not a Tai language, ultimately leading to field work distinguishing En as a separate language.
Researchers have determined En to be most closely related to the Buyang language. The speakers of En live in northern Vietnam
near the border with Jingxi County, Guangxi. In 1998, En speakers were found 12 km to the east of Hà Quảng city in Nội Thôn
village, Hà Quảng District, Cao Bằng Province. |
