Man or Mango (蠻講/蠻話, literally Man speech), also known as Taishun Manjiang (泰順蠻講), is a Min Dong Chinese dialect spoken in Taishun town in Cangnan county of Wenzhou prefecture in Southeast Zhejiang province.

As a dialect of Min Dong, Manjiang is very distant from major Chinese varieties such as Mandarin and Cantonese. Meanwhile, it displays very significant elements of a substratal indigenous language, perhaps belonging to the Austroasiatic or Tai–Kadai language families.
