The Chứt (Chut, Cheut) or Rục-Sách languages are a Vietic language cluster spoken by the Chứt peoples of Vietnam and Khammouane Province, Laos.

Classification

The following three Chứt subgroups have been tentatively identified in Babaev & Samarina (2021).

• Mày, Rục, Sách
• Arem
• Kri, Maleng (Malieng); Kri and Maleng are listed as Western Vietic, rather than as part of the Chut phylogenetic group, by Alves & Sidwell (2021)

Except for the semi-nomadic and sedentary agriculturalist Sach and the swidden agriculturalist Kri, the May, Ruc, Arem, and Maleng were all hunter-gatherers until the late 20th century.
