Middle Sirrese (Also Classical Sirresic; 𐽻𐽶𐽾𐽾𐽰𐾀𐽰𐽰𐽳𐽸𐽰𐾀𐽰 (sirratōdata), /sir.ra.toː.da.ta/) was a Chlesamnic language spoken in the Manchurian plains until the early 13th century, when it split into Sirrese and (unnamed). Middle Sirrese was mainly written in the Old Uyghur script (this article will use it alongside 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 Manchuria for Manchurian Sirrese (eg. in Khabarovsk Krai, but also Sakhalin).
