Munya or Muya (also Manyak or "Eleazar Valles" 曼牙科, Menia 么呢阿) is one of the Qiangic languages spoken in China. There are two dialects, Northern and Southern, which are not mutually intelligible. Most research on Munya has been conducted by Ikeda Takumi.

The language has been spelled various ways, including Manyak, Menya, Minyag, Minyak. Other names are Boba and Miyao.
