Pyen (Hpyin, Phen) is a Loloish language of Burma. It is spoken in two villages near Mong Yang, Shan State, Burma, just to the north of Kengtung.[3]
Pyen borrows more from Lahu and Shan, while Bisu borrows more from Northern Thai and Standard Thai. Pyen and Bisu are both mutually intelligible, since the two form a dialect chain along with Laomian and Laopin of China, and some Phunoi varieties of Laos (Person 2007).
