Description: Eastern Minyag (emq) is a highly endangered and practically un-studied Tibeto-Burman language spoken by an unknown number of individuals (estimated 2000) in western Shimian and Eastern Jiulong Counties, western Sichuan, China. Not enough is known about the language to securely posit its genetic affiliations, but it is currently believed to belong to the Qiangic family. On the basis of national township classifications, and fieldwork inquiries, Eastern Minyag speaking villages are known to exist in eight townships across three counties: Caoke, Xieluo, Anshun, Xinmin, Xianfeng, and Wajiao in Shimian County, and Wangba, and Hongba in Jiulong County. Local oral histories report 48 Eastern Minyag speaking villages. However, the villages of the speaking area are separated by steep valleys. Their speakers have little contact and the continued use of the language in all of these historical areas is questionable. Until 2018, Eastern Minyag was considered a dialect of a better-described and related language, Western Minyag (wmg). The two languages were previously subsumed under a single ISO code (mvm), but have since been demonstrated to be mutually unintelligible. Eastern Minyag is also unintelligible with other surrounding languages, including Lizu, a number of Yi languages, and Ersu.
