Tangkhulic languages

Eurasian Language Families

The Tangkhulic, or Tangkhul, languages are a group of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken mostly in northeastern Manipur, India. Conventionally classified as Naga languages, they are not clearly related to other Naga languages and are conservatively classified as an independent Tangkhul-Maring branch of Tibeto-Burman, pending further research.
