Biao Mon (autonym: bjau31 moːn31)[2] is a Mienic language of Guangxi province, China. It is spoken in Lipu, Mengshan, Pingle, and Zhaoping counties in Guangxi, China.[3]
Biao Mon is not to be confused with Biao Min, a different Mienic language spoken to the north in Quanzhou and Gongcheng counties of Guangxi. Also, despite sometimes being referred to as "Mien", Biao Mon is not a variety of Iu Mien and is distinct from it.
