The Jingpho-Luish languages, also called Jingpho-Asakian, Kachin-Luic or Kachinic, are a group of Sino-Tibetan languages belonging to the Sal branch. They are spoken in northeastern India, Bangladesh and Myanmar, and consist of the Jingpho language and the Luish languages Sak, Kadu, Ganan, Andro, Sengmai and Chairel. Ethnologue and Glottolog include the extinct or nearly extinct Taman language in the Jingpho branch, but a 2016 study by Huziwara considers it unclassified within Tibeto-Burman.
