Nisga’a (also Nass Nisgha Nisg̱a’a Nishka Niska Nishga Nisqa’a) is a Tsimshianic language of the Nisga’a people of northwestern British Columbia. Nisga’a people however do not like the term Tshimshianic as they feel that it gives precedence to Coast Tsimshian. Nisga’a is very closely related to Gitksan. Indeed many linguists regard Nisga’a and Gitksan as dialects of a single Nass–Gitksan language.
