Pa Na · 26.3°N 110.1°E

Pa Na (Chinese: 巴那语; pinyin: Bānàyǔ; autonym: pa˥˧ na˧˩˧) is a Hmongic language spoken by about 1,000 people in Shangpai (上排), Zhongpai (中排), and Xiapai (下排) of Chengbu County, and Huangshuangping (黄双坪), Suining County in Hunan, China. It is also called "Red Miao". Yoshihisa Taguchi (2012) considers Pa Na to be most closely related to She and Jiongnai.

Yoshihisa Taguchi (2001) documents the Xiapai (下排) dialect of Pa Na. Hu (2018:14-17) briefly documents the Pa Na dialect of Tanni Village No. 2 (潭泥村二组), Huangsangping Ethnic Miao Township (黄桑坪苗族乡; currently part of Zhaishi Township 寨市苗族侗族乡), Suining County.
