Dahalik (dahālík, the people of Dahlak; also Dahaalik, Dahlik, Dahlak) is a language spoken exclusively in Eritrea off the coast of Massawa, on three islands in the Dahlak Archipelago: Dahlak Kebir, Nora and Dehil. Only recently discovered by linguists, it has around 2,500–3,000 speakers. It belongs to the Afro-Asiatic language group and is closely related to Tigre and Tigrinya. It is not mutually intelligible with Tigre (see Shaebia below), and, according to Simeone-Senelle, is sufficiently different to be considered a separate language.
