'Kachin' can refer either to the Jingpho language or to a group of languages spoken by various ethnic groups in the same region as Jingpo. These languages are Lisu, Lachit, Rawang, Zaiwa, Maru, Achang (Ngo Chang), and Jingpho. These languages are from distinct branches of the highest level of the Tibeto-Burman family.

The Jingpo ethnicity or Kachin (ka khrang in Burmese is contained between Yunnan In the People's Republic of China, the Kachin state of Burma and Thailand.
