Lish (also called Lishpa or Khispi) is a Kho-Bwa language of West Kameng district, Arunachal Pradesh in India. It is a dialect of the same language as Chug and Gompatse.

The Lish (population 1,567 in 1981) live in Dirang village, a few miles from Chug village, and in Gompatse. The Gompatse variety is not Lish proper, but is rather a lect closely related to Lish.

Lish is also spoken in Khispi village. Despite speaking languages closely related to Mey (Sherdukpen), the people identify as Monpa, not Mey.
