Singkaling Hkamti (; ) also known as Zingalein Kanti or Zingkaling Hkamti, was a Shan state in what is today Burma. It was an outlying territory, away from the main Shan State area. The state was located on both sides of the Chindwin River, in what is present-day Hkamti District, Sagaing Region.
History Singkaling Hkamti was founded in 1820. It was a tributary state of the King of Burma until 1887, when the Shan states submitted to British rule after the fall of the Konbaung dynasty. Its inhabitants were mostly Shan people who were said to have come from Hkamti Long. Before the time of rule by the British the state was often raided by the Kachin people.Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 24, p. 436. The state was integrated into Burma after independence from the British in 1948.
