Hruso, also known as Aka or Angka, is a language of Arunachal Pradesh, India, spoken in 21 villages of the Thrizino Circle in West Kameng District, concentrated along the Bichom River valley and in southeast Kameng. About 3,000 people spoke Hruso as of 2007, a figure that may include speakers of the closely related Levai variety. Long assumed to be a Sino-Tibetan language, Hruso is now considered by some linguists to be a language isolate instead, and both Ethnologue and the Endangered Languages Project classify it as threatened.
