The Naga languages are a geographic and ethnic grouping of languages under the
Kuki-Chin-Naga languages, spoken mostly by
Naga peoples.
Northern Naga languages do not fall within the group, in spite of being spoken by Naga groups; instead, these form part of the
Sal languages within Sino-Tibetan, while
Southern Naga languages form a branch within
Kuki-Chin languages subfamily.
