Cao Miao (Chinese: 草苗; autonym: mjiu55 ɲaŋ33^[2]) is a variety of Dong (Kam) according to Shi Lin (2012).^[3] Dialects include Liushi ("Sixty") Miao 六十苗, Sishi ("Forty") Miao 四十苗, and Ershi ("Twenty") Miao 二十苗 (also known as Flowery Miao 花苗). The Flowery Miao 花苗 do not consider themselves to be Cao Miao 草苗, although their language is similar to Sixty Miao and Forty Miao (Shi 2012).
