Taz is a dialect of Northeastern Mandarin formerly spoken by the Taz people of the Russian Far East.[3] There are a few loanwords from Tungusic languages, but no obvious Tungusic effect on the grammar.[4]
Taz is largely mutually intelligible with Mandarin. In 1992, some Chinese bought ginseng from the Taz. They spoke Standard Chinese and Taz, respectively, and could understand one other. What they did not understand were mainly place names and social terms.[4]
