The Younian dialect (Chinese: 优念话; pinyin: Yōuniànhuà) is a dialect of Northern Pinghua spoken in northern Guangxi. It is spoken by ethnic Red Yao people in Longsheng County, Guilin, Guangxi province. There were more than 10,000 native speakers in 1997. It has been documented in detail by Ouyang (2010).

Different towns in Longsheng have different inventories of consonants, differing from 18 in Pannei township to more than 20 in Heping and Mati townships. The characters in this table are based on Heping township's dialect.^[1]

• Heping has /x/ but no /h/, Pannei has /h/ but no /x/, and Mati has both.
