Template:Naga people The Naga languages are a geographic and ethnic grouping of Sino-Tibetan languages, spoken mostly by Naga peoples.[2]

The Northern Naga or Konyak 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,[3] while the Southern Naga or Northwestern Kuki-Chin languages form a branch within the Kuki-Chin languages.[4]
