Yongnan-Wuming Zhuang is a Yongnan Zhuang language or cluster of languages spoken in Guangxi along the confluence of the Zuo and You rivers, where they form the Yong River. It constitutes clade "M" in the classification of Tai languages in Pittayaporn (2009).

Varieties of Yongnan-Wuming Zhuang include the Zhuang of Long'an (隆安), Fusui (扶绥), southern Yongning (邕宁) (northern Yongning is Yongbei Zhuang–speaking), and neighboring communities. It includes Wuming (武鸣) dialect, the basis of Standard Zhuang that was previously classified as a dialect of Yongbei Zhuang because it's spoken north of the Yong River.
