Zotung (Zobya) is a language spoken by the Zotung people, in the town of Rezua, Chin State, Burma. It is a continuum of closely related dialects and accents. The language does not have a standard written form since it has dialects with multiple variations on its pronunciations. A written script for Zotung was created in 1933 by Paw Khaw Ming (Siabawi Khuamin).
