Language of Daraang

The Dara-Ang people have many unique colloquialisms but have no written language. Usually Dara-Ang people can speak Shan language very well because they live in territory ruled by Shan. The Dara-Ang people like to use the Shan language as it is the main language used to communicate with other tribes such as Lahu, Akha and Lisu as these tribes can usually speak Shan as well.
        The Dara-Ang people usually speak loudly, clearly and fast. Their intonation resembles Karen language. They stress high tones. The Dara-Ang people have mastered the basics of the Shan language better than other tribes and can communicate and speak Northern Thai language. They speak Thai language with clear intonation and pronunciation.
