The Naic or Naxish languages are a group of Sino-Tibetan languages that include Naxi, Na (Mosuo), Laze (Muli Shuitian), Shixing (Xumi), and Namuyi (Namuzi). They have been variously classified as part of the Loloish or the Qiangic branch of Sino-Tibetan.
The name "Naic" is derived from the endonym Na used by speakers of several of the languages.
