The Khasi are a group of Mon-Khmer speakers living predominantly in the Khasi and Jaintia Hills region of Megahlaya state in northeastern India, with a smaller number in Assam, West Bengal, and Manipur states. In some sources the Khasi have been called Khuchia. The vast majority of Khasi people (ca. 90%) live in India, with a further 10% living across the border in Bangladesh. Khasi [KHI] is the only language of the Mon-Khmer group of Austroasiatic spoken this far to the west.
