'''Kāndi''', or '''Tsan''' (''kāndi tsūyi'' or ''tsani tsūyi'') is a language spoken by the Tsan people. It belongs to the Tanisi language family and is thus distantly related to the [[Ris]] language. Kandi is a heavily [[w:agglutinative language|agglutinating]] with a complex verbal morphology. The language has repeatedly been analysed as lacking [[w:nouns|nouns]] and [[w:adjectives|adjectives]] altogether, in favour of [[w:verb|verb]]s.

<!-- ==Etymology==
The word ''tsan'' is the Kandi word for "''hand''" and is most often used to denote the speakers of the language, the Tsan people. As with most words in Kandi, the word has an adjectival meaning as well, and is usually translated as "''to be crafty''". -->
