Kulon (occasionally rendered Kulun) is an extinct language of the Taiwanese aboriginal people that belonged to the Austronesian language family. Very little data is available for Kulon; the primary source is the 60 pages of Tsuchida (1985).[2] Li (2008) follows Tsuchida in linking Kulon with Saisiyat,[3] while Blust (1999) proposes it was more closely related to Pazeh.[4]
