Xiangnan Tuhua

Xiangnan Tuhua, or simply Tuhua, is a group of unclassified Chinese varieties of southeastern Hunan. It is spoken throughout some areas of Yongzhou prefecture (apart from Qiyang County in the northeast) and in the western half of Chenzhou prefecture, in which Xiangnan dialects of Southwestern Mandarin are also spoken. Xiangnan Tuhua is spoken by the Sinicized Pingdi ('plains') Yao.

Xiangnan Tuhua is the language of Nüshu, the "women's script" of Jiangyong County in Yongzhou.
