The Ladakhi–Balti languages or Western Archaic Tibetan languages are a subgroup of the Tibetic languages spoken in the Ladakh region of India and in the Gilgit-Baltistan territory of Pakistan. The lects lack mutual intelligibility and are considered separate languages by their speakers. The grouping includes:
Ladakhi (Ladakh, Tibet) Zangskari (Ladakh) Purgi (Ladakh, Baltistan) Balti (Baltistan, Ladakh) Changthang (Ladakh, Tibet)
Proto-Western Tibetan has been reconstructed by Backstrom (1994).
