'''Katchal''' (Katchall, Katchál, Kachel), or ''Tehnu (Tēhnyu)'',<ref name=Man>Edward Horace Man, 1889, ''A dictionary of the central Nicobarese language''</ref> is a [[Nicobarese language]] spoken in the central [[Nicobar Islands]]. Apart from the dialect of Trinket<ref>Robert Parkin, 1991, ''A guide to austroasiatic speakers and their languages'', pp 37–38</ref> (Trinkat, Trinkut, or ''Lâfūl''),<ref name=Man/> it is not mutually intelligible with the other Central Nicobarese languages. The population of Trinket was evacuated to Nancowry and Camorta after the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami|2004 tsunami]], and can be expected to disappear as speakers assimilate.<br />
