Sinkajji (sinkaçi sraSità Sinkajji srašità), sometimes also called Central Avašyani (ZêlavaSyani Zêlavašyani) or White Avašyani (çicavaSyani Jjičavašyani), is a West Avašyani language belonging to the Širiʼayi branch of the Vehperšan group of the Anter-Alaxian languages. Sinkajji is a pluricentric language predominantly spoken and used officialy in Sinkayya and Tushinmero (in the case of the latter co-officially with Gotehanic), spoken natively in Mem and Jimaria by a substantial minority, and by diaspora in Ginsukyo and Ruskvy.
It has been solely written with the sinkajji script in all regions in colloquial and official capacity, although a variant form of the ginsukyan script has been rarely used alongside by the sinkajji diaspora in Ginsukyo.
Saxasix and Savaj are not considered dialects of Zêlavašyani and are rather their own distinct languages within the Avašyani branch of Širyan languages.
