Haroi (Hroi) is a Chamic language of the Austronesian family spoken in central Vietnam. It was reported in the 1970s to have approximately 10,000–15,000 speakers in western Phú Yên, Bình Định, and Phú Bổn provinces. Its exact position within the Chamic subgroup has been debated: Goschnick (1977) considered it difficult to classify, noting similarities with both Northern and Southern Chamic languages.
