Haflong Hindi (Hindi: हफ़लौंग हिन्दी) is the lingua franca of Dima Hasao district of Assam state of India.^[1] It is a pidgin that stemmed from Hindustani and includes vocabulary from several other languages, such as Assamese, Dimasa and Zeme Naga. It is named after Haflong, which is the headquarters of Dima Hasao district.
