The Ge or Gejia language (Chinese: 𱎼家语), also known as Chong'anjiang Miao (Chinese: 重安江苗语), is a West Hmongic language of Huangping County, Guizhou, China. The endonym is spelled Mhong, though it shares this with Huishui Miao; it is pronounced [m̥ōŋ], as in the Hmong language. When speaking Chinese, they call themselves Gédōu.
Gejia is spoken in eastern Guizhou, in speech islands within the Hmu language (Qiandong Miao 黔东苗语) area. Dongjia, spoken nearby in Majiang County, is closely related to Gejia.[2]
