The Lahuli–Spiti languages or Western Innovative Tibetan languages are a subgroup of the Tibetic languages spoken in the Lahaul and Spiti region of Himachal Pradesh, India. They are more closely related to Standard Tibetan than to the neighboring Ladakhi–Balti languages spoken further north.

According to Tournadre (2005),[3] the Lahuli–Spiti languages include:

  • Lahuli (Stod Bhoti)
  • Spiti
  • Nyamkat
  • Changthang

Bhoti Kinnauri and Tukpa (Nesang) may also belong here.
