The Jahaic languages (also called Semang or 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 of the group can be split into two divisions, with an eastern branch consisting of Batek, Jehai, Minriq and Mintil, and a western branch consisting of Maniq, Kintaq and Kensiu.
