Old Sirrese (Also ''Classical Sirresic''; {{lang|sirr-pro|銀人話}} ({{lang|sirr-pro|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). Old Sirrese was mainly written in Chinese characters, but saw some use of the Old Uyghur script, as well as the Mongolian script late in its life.

Old Sirrese is of great interest to Chlesamnic linguists, as it is seemingly rather conservative in many aspects, compare reconstructed Proto-Chlesamnic ''*wánhas''/''*wánham'' to Old Sirrese ''*wanna'', Ancient Tevvic ''vagga'', Old Thadic ''wěnxę̌'', and Old Low Polovic ''vǫžǫ''.

Old Sirrese (Also Classical Sirresic; 銀人話 (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 Chinese characters, but saw some use of the Old Uyghur script, as well as the Mongolian script late in its life.

Old Sirrese is of great interest to Chlesamnic linguists, as it is seemingly rather conservative in many aspects, compare reconstructed Proto-Chlesamnic *wánhas/*wánham to Old Sirrese *wanna, Ancient Tevvic vagga, Old Thadic wěnxę̌, and Old Low Polovic vǫžǫ.
