Middle Sirrese (Also Classical Sirresic; sirratōdata, /sir.ra.toː.da.ta/) was a Chlesamnic language spoken in the Manchurian plains until the early 10th century, when it became Middle Sirrese. Old Sirrese was mainly written in the Old Uyghur script (this article will use Latin script), but later saw use of a script called "sirrāmma" (literally "silver spirit") which is a descendant of Old Uyghur and persists today in certain parts of for Manchurian Sirrese (eg. in Sakhalin and Khabarovsk Krai).
