She or Shehua (畲话, Shēhuà, meaning 'She speech') is an unclassified Sinitic language spoken by the She people of Southeastern China.
She and Sheyu speakers have separate histories and identities, although both are officially classified by the Chinese government as She people.
The Dongjia of Majiang County, Guizhou are also officially classified as She people, but speak a Western Hmongic language closely related to Chong'anjiang Miao (重安江苗语).
You (2002:31-35)[1] divides She into 9 dialectal areas (fangyan qu 方言区), and with respective locations and speaker demographics from You (2002) listed as well.
[1] In Anhui Province, there is also a She dialect spoken by about 2,400 people in Yunti She Ethnic Township (云梯畲族乡), Ningguo City that has been influenced by Lower Yangtze Mandarin.
The following maps show ethnic She townships and other administrative divisions (highlighted in magenta) in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces.
Like many southern Chinese languages, it has syllables with stop codas, traditionally considered as part of a separate tone class.
Only a limited number of consonants can act as a coda, including the nasals and the plain labial, dental, and glottal stops.
