 '''Hraayan''' is a language spoken by approximately 63 million people in the Republic of Hraaya in Southeast Asia. Although the origins of the language are still a topic of debate within the linguistic community, most scholars agree that Hraayan is Sinitic in origin with heavy Austronesian influence, with minorities believing the language is a distinct branch in the Trans-Himalayan language family. Broad consensus is that Hraayan diverged from Old Chinese some time in the mid-1st millennium BCE, its speakers migrating southward, whereafter they first settled near the Mekong Delta and later in their present location. It serves as the native language of the Hraay ethnic group and is spoken natively by the majority of Hraaya.

 ==Etymology==
 The etymology of the ethnonym ''Hraay'', and thus of the name ''ngan Hraay'', is unknown (although ''ngan'' is derived from Old Chinese 言 ''*ŋan'' "speech"). A formerly common theory is that it is related to the word ''Hraang'' "oriole" (from Old Chinese 鶬 ''*[s.r̥]ˤaŋ''), though modern consensus is that the oriole as a national symbol is a later conflation due to phonological similarity with the word ''Hraay'' rather than a direct etymological link.

 ==Orthography==
 Hraayan is today written using a reduced from of the Latin alphabet, consisting of 22 letters. It makes no use of diacritics and borrowed words are always adapted to the native alphabet in official contexts, though in colloquial contexts spelling alterations are not made, and the Hraayan keyboard layout is broadly identical to the English one.
