TheChứt(Chut, Cheut) orRục-Sáchlanguages are aVieticlanguage cluster spoken by theChứt peoplesof Vietnam andKhammouane Province,Laos.

Classification

[edit]

The following three Chứt subgroups have been tentatively identified in Babaev & Samarina (2021).[2]

  • Mày,Rục,Sách

  • Kri,Maleng(Malieng); Kri and Maleng are listed as Western Vietic, rather than as part of the Chut phylogenetic group, by Alves & Sidwell (2021)[3]
