TheJingpho-Luish,Jingpho-Asakian,Kachin–Luic,orKachiniclanguages are a group ofSino-Tibetan languagesbelonging theSal branch.They are spoken in northeastern India, Bangladesh and Myanmar, and consist of theJingpho(also known as Kachin) language and theLuish(a.k.a.Asakian) languagesSak,Kadu,Ganan,Andro,Sengmai,andChairel.EthnologueandGlottologinclude the extinct or nearly extinctTaman languagein the Jingpo branch, but Huziwara (2016)^[1]considers it to be unclassified within Tibeto-Burman.

James Matisoff(2013)^[2]provides phonological and lexical evidence in support of theJingpho-Asakian(Jingpho–Luish) grouping, dividing it into two subgroups, namelyJingphoicandAsakian.Proto-Luish has been reconstructed by Huziwara (2012)^[3]and Matisoff (2013).

Jingpho-Luish languages contain manysesquisyllables.^[2]
