The Sansi language, Sansiboli, or Bhilki, is a highly endangered Indo-Aryan language of the Central group. The language is spoken by the nomadic Sansi people of the Indian subcontinent.

Ethnologue sees it as part of Western Hindi. [1] Some sources also mention it as a dialect of the Rajasthani language. [2] Glottolog links it to Punjabi. Kabutra, spoken by a thousand people in Pakistan, is mutually intelligible.[ citation needed ]
