Chang (Changyanguh), or Mochungrr, is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in northeastern India. It is spoken in 36 villages of Tuensang District in east-central Nagaland (Ethnologue). Ethnologue reports that the Tuensang village dialect is the central speech variety that is intelligible to all Chang speakers.
