Adi, also known as Abor (Abhor, Abor-Miri) and Lhoba (Lho-Pa, Luoba), is a Sino-Tibetan language of the Tani family spoken in Arunachal Pradesh, India.

Adi has a number of dialects, including Padam, Minyong, Shimong, Mising (a.k.a. Plains Miri), and Pasi.

Adi literature has been developed by Christian missionaries since 1900. The missionaries, J. H. Lorrain and F. W. Savidge, published an Abor-Miri Dictionary in 1906 with the help of Mupak Mili and Atsong Pertin, considered the fathers of the Adi language or Adi script.

Adi language is taught in schools of areas dominated by adi communities as third language.
