ELPKarbi
A Karbi speaker speaking Karbi and English, recorded in India.

The Karbi language (US: /kɑːrbi/ ) is spoken by the Karbi (also known as Mikir or Arleng) people of Northeastern India.

It belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family, but its position is unclear. Grierson (1903)[2] classified it under Naga languages, Shafer (1974) and Bradley (1997) classify the Mikir languages as an aberrant Kuki-Chin branch, but Thurgood (2003) leaves them unclassified within Sino-Tibetan. Blench and Post (2013) classify it as one of the most basal languages of the entire family.
