The Konyak languages, also known as the Konyakian, Northern Naga or Patkaian languages, are a branch of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken by various Naga peoples in southeastern Arunachal Pradesh and northeastern Nagaland states of northeastern India. They are not closely related to other Naga languages spoken further south, but rather to other Sal languages such as Jingpho and the Bodo-Garo languages. There are many dialects, and villages even a few kilometers apart frequently rely on a separate common language.
