Hm Nai (Mandarin: Wunai (唔奈 wúnài), Cantonese: Ng-nai) is a Hmong-Mien language (Mandarin: Miao-Yao, Chinese: 苗瑶) spoken[3] in western Hunan province, China. There are approximately 5800 people speaking this language, and the number is decreasing.[4] Mao & Li (1997) determined it to be closely related to the Pa-Hng language.
