Hruso, also known as Aka or Angka, is a language of Arunachal Pradesh in India. Long assumed to be a Sino-Tibetan language, it may actually be a language isolate.[3][2] Hruso speakers are concentrated mostly in Thrizino Circle, West Kameng District (Blench & Post 2011:6).[3]
Ləvai (Bangru), spoken on the Tibetan border, might be related to Hruso, but it seems more likely that it is a dialect of Miji (Blench & Post 2011:6).[3]
