Khamyang is a critically endangered Tai language of India, spoken by the Khamyang people. Approximately fifty people speak the language; all reside in the village of Powaimukh, located seven miles downstream of Margherita in the Tinsukia district.[2] It is closely related to the other Tai languages in the Assam region: Aiton, Khamti, Phake, and Turung.
