Western Léna, natively Ijhenggínga, is a Western Hakhpha language or dialect spoken in on the western coast of Hárǝsi. It is hotly debated whether this is a separate language from Standard Léna, though external linguists tend to conclude that they are closely-related (but ultimately not mutually intelligible) languages. Ijhenggínga is primarily spoken in the Cékwely Kwojongoka (Ijh.: Qunjongok aihá Céqez).
