Rawang has a high degree of internal diversity, and some varieties are not mutually intelligible. Most, however, understand Mutwang, the basis of written Rawang.
Rawang is spoken in Putao District, northern Kachin State, in Putao, Machanbaw, Naungmaw, Kawnglangphu, and Pannandin townships (Ethnologue). Alternate names are Chiutse, Ch’opa, Ganung-Rawang, Hkanung, Kiutze, Nung, Nung Rawang, and Qiuze.
Varieties
The Ethnologue lists the following varieties of Rawang.
Daru-Jerwang (including the Kunglang variety spoken in Arunachal Pradesh)
Khrangkhu/Thininglong (Southern Lungmi) (documented in Shintani 2018[2])
Kyaikhu (Dangraq-Mashang, Northern Lungmi)
Matwang
Tangsar East (Changgong)
Tangsar West (Langdaqgong, Renyinchi)
Thaluq
Lungmi varieties of Mashang and Dangraq are especially divergent, and varieties spoken near the Tibetan border are also divergent.
Kyaikhu Lungmi and Changgong Tangsar are less intelligible with the standard written variety of Matwang.
There are 4 major Rawang clan divisions, in addition to subclans (Ethnologue):
Lungmi
Matwang
Daru-Jerwang

Straub (2017)[5][6][7][8] provides demographic details and phoneme inventories for the following Rawang dialects.
Dvrù dialect: spoken by the Rvwàng, Konglang, and Sangnay clans, and was originally spoken on the upper Rvmetì (N'mai Hka) river north of Konglangpø. It is also spoken in Nokmong, Putao District, Kachin State, Myanmar.
