Stieng is the language of the Stieng people of southern Vietnam and adjacent areas of Cambodia. Along with Chrau and Mnong, Stieng is classified as a language of the South Bahnaric grouping of the Mon-Khmer languages within the Austroasiatic language family. In the Austroasiatic scheme, the Bahnaric languages are often cited as being most closely related to the Khmer language. There are noted dialects of Stieng, some of which may not be mutually intelligible. However, due to the lack of widely available research, this article will primarily describe the dialect known as Bulo Stieng spoken in the provinces of Binh Phuoc, Lam Dong, Tay Ninh in southwestern Vietnam and Kratie (Snuol District) and Mondulkiri provinces in adjacent areas of eastern Cambodia. Bulo Stieng is spoken in more remote areas of the mountains and jungles alongside its close relative, Mnong. Other dialects, including Bu Dek and Bu Biek, are spoken in the lowlands and exhibit more influence from Vietnamese. Unlike many other Mon-Khmer languages, Stieng does not distinguish voice quality, nor is it a tonal language like Vietnamese. Words may be either monosyllabic or sesquisyllabic.
