The Shou Chiang languages were a group of languages spoken by the various nations of Kara-Tur, namely Shou Lung, T'u Lung, Khazari, and Ra-Khati. The Shou Chiang languages group comprised the Kao te Shou, T'u Lung, Khazari, and Ra-Khati languages. Of them, Kao te Shou and T'u Lung came from same root tongue. The languages were mutually intelligible, similar enough for a speaker of one to understand the other, yet different enough to count as separate languages. The Shou Chiang languages heavily influenced the Eastern Imaskari languages.
