Khiamniungan (Khiamngan, Khiamniungan) is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken by the Khiamniungan people in the Tuensang district of Nagaland in northeastern India and in northwestern Burma. ==Distribution and status== There are approximately 50,000 speakers of Khiamniungan. There are an estimated 29 Khiamniungan villages in India and 132 in Burma.〔Pillai, S.K. (2001). The Water People: a Khiamniungan landscape. India International Centre Quarterly, Vol. 27/28, Vol. 27, no. 4/Vol. 28, no. 1: The Human Landscape, 95–108. Retrieved from JSTOR.〕 "Khiamniungan" is the autonym for the language, which means "the source of water" or "water people", whereas ''Kalyokengnyu'' is an exonym meaning "dwelling in stone", given to the group by European anthropologists after the slate roof houses the people lived in.〔Matisoff, J. (1996). Languages and dialects of Tibeto-Burman (2nd ed., p. 76). Berkeley: STEDT.〕 The low number of speakers of Khiamniugan makes it vulnerable, but it is taught in schools and supported by the government through cultural programs.〔
