Chairel is an extinct Luish language of Manipur, India. It is preserved only in a word list from 1859.[2] Chairel speakers have since shifted to Meithei.

Classification

From the words for "sun" (sal) and "fire" (phal), it is clear that it is a Sal (Brahmaputran) language.[3]

James Matisoff (2013)[4] demonstrated that Chairel belongs to the Luish sub-branch of Sal.
