Nashaghan also spelled Nashkan or Najghan (Nāšağan, Nâshağan), is an extinct Vaniuan literary language that was once widely spoken across Eastern Vaniua and remained a common literary language until the early 19th century. It was used across a wide geographic area, most prominently, around the populated regions of the Great Horde. This includes areas of modern-day Amaia, Araman, Balakia, Baghazan, Gushlia, Shaghahan, eastern Siyezan, and northern Vaniua while establishing itself as the most spoken language in Komania, Torosha, northern Balakia, Qamatudh and to a lesser extent Baghazan, developing into several dialects.

The literary form of Nashaghan is the predecessor of the modern Nashghani branch of Vaniuan languages, which includes the Koman dialect continuum and Qamatudhi as well as minor languages such as Dawari or Ghalar. The Jazaghan language, which later evolved into modern Balak, is not considered part of the Nasghani branch but has nonetheless been heavily influenced by it.
