● Article ● Talk ● Language ● Watch ● Edit

Hpon (Burmese: ဖွန်းဘာသာ; also spelled Hpun) was a moribund Burmish language spoken by older adults in the gorges of the upper Irrawaddy River of Burma, north of Bhamo. There were two dialects, northern and southern. The language was phonologically more conservative than other 'Kachinised' Burmish languages.^[2]
