'''Erjie''' is an [[w:Indo-European|Indo-European]] language spoken by the Erjie people, who mainly live in the provinces of [[w:Qinghai|Qinghai]] and [[w:Gansu|Gansu]] in Northwestern [[w:China|China]]. It is the sole extant member of the [[w:Tocharian Languages|Tocharian]] branch of [[w:Indo-European|Indo-European]]. The Erjie number about 3200 people, about 2000 (2023) speak the Erjie language; around 800 are primarily monolingual, while many speak Mandarin and/or Amdo Tibetan to a degree of fluency. While a pinyin-based writing system has been devised, Erjie is not often written by speakers and primarily exists as a spoken language.
