Paang (rhư nténg Pa̍ng) is a classical language of Hmøøhian author Tsayfuan's fantasy world. It is a monosyllabic tonal language with initial consonant mutations. It is inspired in-universe by Talmic and Æ, and I was actually inspired by Insular Celtic and Southeast Asian languages.

Paang poetry uses the Vietnamese lục bát meter, which Tsayfuan took from Æ poetry.
