The Naish languages are a low-level subgroup of Sino-Tibetan languages that include Naxi, Na (Mosuo), and Laze. Classification The Naish languages are: *Naish **'' Naxi'' **'' Na'' (Narua, Mosuo) **'' Laze'' In turn, Naish together with Namuyi and Shixing constitutes the Naic subgroup within Sino-Tibetan.
