Maang ( Chinese: 么昂语; autonym: maːŋ33 or mӕ̠aŋ33) or Mo'ang ( Chinese: 末昂语; autonym: mɯaŋ51) is a Lolo-Burmese language of Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan, China and northern Vietnam. The Maang are also locally referred to as the Gāokùjiǎo Yí (高裤脚彝; "High-Trousered Yi") by other local ethnic groups (Zhou 2014:1).

Lama (2012) classifies Maang within the Mondzish branch of Lolo–Burmese. Maang has many Zhuang ( Central Tai) loanwords (Wang 2018).
