The Bonan language (pronounced [p⁼aoˈnaŋ], Baonang; Chinese: 保安语, Bǎo'ānyǔ; Amdo Tibetan: Dorké), also known by its endonym Maniskacha (Tibetan: མ་ནི་སྐད་ཅི; Wylie: Ma ni skad ci),[3] is the Mongolic language of the Bonan people of China. As of 1985, it was spoken by about 8,000 people, including about 75% of the total Bonan ethnic population and many ethnic Monguor, in Gansu and Qinghai Provinces. There are several dialects, which are influenced to varying degrees – but always heavily – by Chinese and Tibetan, while bilingualism in Wutun is less common. The most commonly studied is the Tongren dialect. There is not typically written by speakers,[4] though there is a folk practice of writing Bonan with the Tibetan syllabary following Amdo pronunciation.[5]
