Stieng (/stiə̯ŋ/, Vietnamese: Xtiêng, Khmer: ស្ទៀង) is the language of the Stieng people of southern Vietnam and adjacent areas of Cambodia. Along with Chrau and Mnong, Stieng is classified as a language of the the South Bahnaric grouping of the Mon-Khmer languages within the Austro-Asiatic language family. In the Austro-Asiatic scheme, the Bahnaric languages are often cited as being most closely related to the Khmer language.
There are noted dialects of Stieng, some of which may not be mutually intelligible. However, due to the lack of widely available research, this article will primarily describe the dialect known as Bulo Stieng spoken in the provinces of Binh Phuoc, Lam Dong, Tay Ninh in southwestern Vietnam and Kratie (Snuol District) and Mondulkiri provinces in adjacent areas of eastern Cambodia.[4][5]
