Miisiirii (also called Mileri or Jabal[1]) is a language of western Sudan, spoken by the Messiria of Jebel Mun (Jebel Moon) in Darfur, with a few speakers scattered in Chad.[1]

Miisiirii belongs to the Taman language family. It is often considered a dialect of Tama, though it is not particularly close.
