Tai Laing language

Tai Leng (Shan: တႆးလႅင်, lit. 'red Tai'; variously spelt Tai Laing, Tai Leng or Tai Nine), also known as Shan-Ni (Burmese: ရှမ်းနီ, lit. 'red Shan'), is a Tai language of Burma, closely related to Khamti and Shan. It is written in its own variant of Burmese script, and though not taught in schools, is experiencing a cultural revival, albeit still small. There is no census of speakers, but they are estimated to number around 100,000.

Alternate names for Tai Leng are Shan-Bamar, Shan Kalay, Myaybyan Shan, Tai Nine, Tai Dine and Tai Chaung.
