Chinese Kyakala (Chinese: 恰喀拉; pinyin: Qiàkālā) is an extinct Tungusic language that was spoken in northeastern China.
It is not to be confused with Russian Kyakala or Kekar, a southern Udeghe language or dialect cluster that was spoken in Far East Russia. In contrast, Chinese Kyakala belongs in the Jurchenic subgroup.
