The Kachin–Luic or Kachinic languages are a family of Tibeto-Burman languages of eastern India and Burma, consisting of the Jingpho (aka Kachin) language and the Sak (aka Luish) languages Sak, Kadu, Andro, and Sengmai.
(Note Ethnologue considers Sak dialects of one language. They also include the extinct or nearly extinct Taman language in the Jingpo branch, but this is generally assumed to be Luish.[1])
