Maleng (autonym: /malɛ̤ŋ²/[2]), also known as Pakatan and Bo, is a Vietic language of Laos and Vietnam.

Maleng has the four-way register system of Thavung augmented with pitch.[3]

Malieng, despite having the same name as Maleng, is a dialect of Chut (Chamberlain 2003, Sidwell 2009).

Varieties

Maleng consists of three dialect clusters:[2]

  • Maleng (Mã Liềng); Kha Pakatan; Malang; Arem/Harème (Rivière 1902).[4] Sub-varieties include Kha Muong Ben and Kha Bo (Fraisse 1950).[5]
  • Ma Lieng, also known as Pa Leng (Đặng Nghiêm Vạn et al. 1986)[6]
  • Kha Phong (formerly an exonym, but now also used as an autonym); Maleng Kari; Maleng Bro. Also known as Kha Nam Om (Fraisse 1949).[7] The Kha Phong live in 2 to 3 villages in Laos, and in one village in Ha Tinh province, Vietnam. Strongly influenced by Lao. Maleng Bro was documented by Michel Ferlus in 1992 (see Ferlus 1997[8]), and also by the 2012-2013 Russian-Vietnamese Linguistic Expedition.

Distribution

Maleng is spoken in the following villages of Laos and Vietnam.[9]
