Hruso
Hruso is a language isolate spoken in India. Glottolog rates it shifting.
An isolate: no relationship to any other known language has been demonstrated.
Hruso, also known as Aka (Angka), is a language of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Long assumed to be a Sino-Tibetan language, it may actually be a language isolate. It is spoken by 3,000 people in 21 villages in Thrizino Circle, West Kameng District. The Hruso people inhabit areas of South East Kameng and are concentrated in the Bichom River Valley, and speak English, Hindi, and Miji in addition to Hruso.
Bangru (Ləvai), spoken on the Tibetan border, might be related to Hruso, but it seems more likely that it is a dialect of Miji.
