Piti (Pitti, Bishi, Bisi) is a minor Kainji language of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Bishi speakers live in at least 26 villages.

Ngmgbang (Riban, Rigmgbang) was formerly listed as a dialect of Bishi, but is clearly a distinct although related language. It is spoken in a few villages in Kaduna State.^[2]

The Piti people are spread out in Nigeria and beyond. Where their presence is known they constitute a body known as The Piti association eg. Piti Association of Jos.
