Taishun Manjiang (泰顺蛮讲) is a minority language spoken in eastern China.
While bearing some characteristics of a Chinese dialect, Manjiang is perhaps most distant from major Chinese dialects like Mandarin and Cantonese. Meanwhile, it displays very significant elements of a substratal indigenous language, perhaps belonging to the Austronesian or Thai-Kadai linguistic families.
