Jahaic languages
The Jahaic or Northern Aslian languages 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 the outlier Cheq [Wong language|Cheq Wong], which is spoken south of the Central Aslian language Semai. The other languages apart from Ten'edn can be split into two divisions:
- Cheq Wong
- Northern Aslian proper
- *Eastern
- **Batek, Mintil
- **Jahai, Minriq
- **Jedek
- *Western
- **Kintaq
- **Kensiu
The name Maniq can refer to either Kensiu or Tonga, both of which also go by the name of Mos.
Some Aslian languages are already extinct, such as Wila', a language or various languages recorded having been spoken on the Province Wellesley coast opposite Penang in the early 19th century. Another extinct language is Ple-Temer, which was previously spoken near Gerik in northern Perak.
