Rawang, also known as Krangku, Kiutze (Qiuze), and Ch’opa, is a Sino-Tibetan language of India and Burma.
Rawang has a high degree of internal diversity, and some varieties are not mutually intelligible. Most, however, understand Mutwang, the basis of written Rawang.
Varieties
The Ethnologue lists the following varieties of Rawang.
- Daru-Jerwang (including the Kunglang variety spoken in Arunachal Pradesh)
- Khrangkhu/Thininglong (Southern Lungmi)
- Kyaikhu (Dangraq-Mashang, Northern Lungmi)
- Matwang
- Tangsar East (Changgong)
- Tangsar West (Langdaqgong, Renyinchi)
- Thaluq
Lungmi varieties of Mashang and Dangraq are especially divergent, and varieties spoken near the Tibetan border are also divergent.
Kyaikhu Lungmi and Changgong Tangsar are less intelligible with the standard written variety of Matwang.
