About Laojengnese Lao-Jengnese is a fictitious language spoken in Southeast Asia and the rural parts of China. Lao-Jengnese has no known related languages, and is dissimilar enough to be thought part of a different language family. Lao-Jengnese also has been, barring few modern loanwords, largely and surprisingly uninfluenced by the surrounding Tai-Kadai, Sino-Tibetan, Austro-Asiatic, and Hmong-Mien languages. These criteria make it classified as a language isolate. The native speakers also have a unique culture, though in great variation, as it stretches from rural China to parts of Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and eastern Myanmar.
