Jie (simplified Chinese: 羯语; traditional Chinese: 羯語; pinyin: Jiéyǔ[4]) is an unclassified extinct language formerly spoken in northeast China during the Later Zhao dynasty by the Jie people, who were formerly part of the Xiongnu confederation. It has been variously considered to be of either Yeniseian or Turkic affiliation.
