Kuan (Kuanhua 寬話 宽语), is a poorly classified Austroasiatic language spoken by about 1,000 people in Jinghong County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. Li (2005) proposes that it is a Mangic language.[2] Other possible affiliations include Palaungic, Khmuic, or even an independent branch of the Austro-Asiatic language family.
