The Ge or Gejia language (Chinese:
家语), AKA Chonganjiang Miao (Zhong'an River Miao), is a Miao language of China. The endonym is spelled Mhong, though it shares this with Huishui Miao; it is pronounced [m̥ōŋ], as in the Hmong language. When speaking Chinese, they call themselves Gédōu.
Gejia is spoken in eastern Guizhou, in speech islands within the area of the Hmu language, which includes the standard dialect.
