Man or Mango (蠻講/蠻話, literally Man speech), also known as Taishun Manjiang (泰順蠻講), is a Eastern Min dialect spoken in Taishun and Cangnan counties of Wenzhou prefecture in Southeast Zhejiang province.
As a dialect of Eastern Min, Manjiang is very distant from major Chinese varieties such as Mandarin and Cantonese, and displays very significant elements of a substratal indigenous language, perhaps belonging to the Austroasiatic or Tai–Kadai language families.
