Jangshung is closely related to its larger neighbor [[Kinnauri language|Kinnauri]] and sometimes considered one of its [[dialect]]s. Like most language varieties of Himachal Pradesh, Jangshung was occasionally written in the traditional [[Takri script]], but it has largely fallen out of use in the 20th century. Today, it is mostly a spoken language. Most Jangshung speakers are multilingual and typically use [[Hindi language|Hindi]] and [[English language|English]] in writing and other formal contexts.<ref name=oeaw/><br />
