Kangjia language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kangjia (康家语) is a recently-discovered Mongolic idiom spoken by a Muslim population of around 300 people in Jainca(Jianzha) County, Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai province of China. As to its taxonomic affiliation, Kangjia seems to be an intermediate between Bonan and Dongxiang (Santa).
