Nihali language

Common card · No. 397890

Nihali, also known as Nahali (निहाली, नहाली Nihālī, Nahālī, pronounced [nihaːliː, nahaːliː]), is an endangered language isolate that is spoken in west-central India by approximately 2,500 people as of 2016. The name of the language derives from nahāl, meaning "tiger". Nihali has not been definitively proven to be related to any other surrounding language families of South Asia, such as Munda, Indo-Aryan, and Dravidian languages, nor to other language isolates like Burushaski and Kusunda. However, a connection with Ainu has been suggested.
