The Jahaic languages (also called Semang and North Aslian) are a group of Aslian languages spoken by about 5,000 people in inland areas of Peninsular Malaysia, with a few pockets in southern Thailand. The most distinctive language in the group is Chewong, which is spoken south of Semai. The other languages apart from Tonga can be split into two divisions: *Chewong *Jahaic proper * *Eastern * * *Batek (Batek Dèq and Batek Nong), Mintil (Batek Tanɨm) * * *Jehai (Jahai), Minriq (Menriq) * *Western: Kintaq, Kensiu (Maniq) (unclassified) Tonga (Mos, Maniq) The name Maniq (Məniʔ, Maniʔ) can refer to either Kensiu or Tonga, both of which also go by the name of Mos. Some Aslian languages are already extinct, such as Wila' (also called Bila' or Lowland Semang), which was recorded having been spoken on the Province Wellesley coast opposite Penang in the early 19th century. Another extinct language is Ple-Temer, which was previously spoken near Gerik in northern Perak (Benjamin 2011). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jahaic languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
