Kisankasa is a purported Nilo-Saharan language spoken in the Arusha Region of Tanzania. It is the primary language of the hunter-gatherer Kisankasa, who have limited comprehension of other languages. The Kisankasa are one of several such peoples called derogatory Dorobo (Ndorobo).[1]

Glottolog has not been able to confirm the existence of the language.[2]
