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 (Burma) in the Jingpo branch, but this is generally assumed to be Luish.[1])
