The Brokpa language (Brokpa kay) (Шаблон:Lang-dz, Dr˚okpakha, Dr˚opkha), also called the Merak-Sakteng language after its speakers' home regions, is a Southern Tibetic language spoken by about 5,000 people mainly in Mera and Sakteng Gewogs in the Sakteng Valley of Trashigang District in Eastern Bhutan.[1][2] Brokpa is spoken by descendants of pastoral yakherd communities.[2]

The word brokpa has two parts. 'brok' and 'pa'. In Tibetic 'Brok' means pastoral land and 'pa' is a demonym, so the word 'Brokpa' refers to the language spoken by the people living on the mountains. Roger Blench has also recently named a language complex called Senge spoken in three villages northwest of Dirang in West Kameng district.[3]

Dondrup (1993:3) lists the following Brokpa villages.

The 1981 census counted 1,855 Brokpa people in Arunachal Pradesh.[5]
