Monsang (Monsang, Monshang; autonym: Si:rti[1]) is an unclassified Sino-Tibetan (possibly Sino-Tibetan) language spoken in the Northeast of India. Scott DeLancey, et al. (2015)[1] classifies Monsang as a "Northwest Naga" language. The speakers of this language use Meitei language as their second language (L2) according to the Ethnologue.[2]
