Ruanruan (Chinese: 蠕蠕; also called Rouran) is an extinct language of Mongolia and northern China. It was spoken in the Rouran Khaganate from the 4th to the 6th centuries CE.
Most linguists argue it is likely a Mongolic or Turkic language but some say Ruanruan may be a Yeniseian language.[1]
In 2018, Brāhmī Bugut and Khüis Tolgoi inscriptions suggest that the Ruanruan language was a Mongolic language, close to Middle Mongolian.[2][3]
