The Brokpa language (Tibetan: དྲོཀ་པ་ཁ་, Template:Lang-dz), also called the "Mera-Sakteng language" after its speakers' home regions, is a Southern Tibetic language spoken by about 5000 people mainly in Mera and Sakteng Gewogs in the Sakteng Valley of Trashigang District in Easte Bhutan.[2][3] Brokpa is spoken by descendants of pastoral yakherd communities.[3]
