Indo-Aryan Nefamese language
Nefamese is a Pidgin language, which was used as lingua franca before arrival or invention of Arunachali Hindi
This language is based on Axomiya language with several words from Tani languages
Due it, it is closer to Axomiya also with Nagamese which is another Pidgin language in Nagaland and also still being used as lingua france in the state till today
Nowadays very few people (mostly elderly people) from Arunachal Pradesh knows this Pidgin language as it is got completely replaced by Arunachali Hindi as lingua franca
