Sansi language

Endangered Indo-Aryan language of India

The Sansi language, Sansiboli, or Bhilki, is a highly endangered Indo-Aryan language of the Central group. The language is spoken by the nomadic Sansi people.

Ethnologue sees it as part of Western Hindi.^[1] Some sources also mention it as a dialect of the Rajasthani language.^[2] Glottolog links it to Punjabi. Kabutra, spoken by a thousand people in Pakistan, is mutually intelligible.
