Lamkang is one of the Naga tribes of Manipur, India, with one village in Burma. The Lamkangs are mostly settled in the southwest and southeastern parts of Manipur. The language is very much similar to Anal Naga, and has been influenced by Meitei as the people have been acculturated. There are current language documentation efforts by native speakers including the collection of traditional stories songs (done by Beshot Khullar) and videography of traditional dances and stories (done by Daniel Tholung) and work on creating a standard orthography (by the Lamkang Literature and Education Committee).


Lamkang is spoken in the following locations (Ethnologue).
