The Nùng language is a member of the Tai-Kadai language family, primarily spoken by the Nùng people in northern Vietnam and parts of China. It has several dialects, which can vary significantly between regions, reflecting the diverse cultural influences in these areas. Nùng is a tonal language, meaning that the pitch or intonation used when pronouncing words can change their meanings. The language is written using the Latin alphabet, and efforts are being made to preserve and promote it among younger generations, ensuring its continued use in the face of globalization.
