Schong (shong, natively jahn Schong /jan41 sʰɔŋ55/; Hlou: Ntzog Xöl) is a Lakovic language (related to Windermere), spoken in Tumhan. It's inspired by Dutch, Cantonese, Thai and Burmese.

Schong is thought to be an exonym from a Hlou-Shum language, ultimately from "Ashan" (a name for a Lakovic speaking people or a Talman region?); however, Schong is in the Tumhanic branch, not Ashanic. Its closest relative is Æ.
