The Hmaric languages (Hmar ṭawnghai) or Hmar languages[1] are a subbranch of the Kukish-Mizo branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family which comprises Hmar proper (Khawsak Țawng/Trawng) Țhiek/Thriek, Saihriem (Faihriem), Leiri, Dulien/Duhlian(a sub-clan of Faihriem) and others.[2] The Hmar languages are often treated as dialects of a single language, since differences between them are reportedly minor.[3] The speakers of the language are also known as Hmar.
In Manipur, Hmar exhibits partial mutual intelligibility with the other Kukish dialects of the area including Thadou, Paite, Vaiphei, Simte, Kom and Gangte languages.[4]
