Nefamese (also Arunamese) is a nearly extinct pidgin of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Its classification is unclear; Ethnologue states that it is based on the Indic language Assamese, but also that it is most closely related to the Tibeto-Burman language Adi Galo. It has also been influenced by Hindi and English. Nefamese emerged in eastern Arunachal Pradesh as a lingua franca among the Nishi, Adi, Apatanai, Khampti, Hill Miri, Idu Mishimi, Nocte, Wanchu, Tagin, Mompa, Zakhring, Apatani, Bugun, etc. peoples, between them and with outsiders. The language is threatened by and has perhaps been replaced by the use of Hindi.
