The Czuczoid languages are one of the three major Kav language families of Lhavres, along with the Konaaczinh and Macro-Kavrinian languages. While the archeological and historical evidence indicates this language family has always been geographically constrained to the Czucz peninsula, that region has always been of outsized importance to Lhavresian history.
In the present-day this family sports over 20 million speakers, the vast majority of those being speakers of Czucz, with the rest being a few hundred thousand speakers spread between several small and often endangered languages in the broader Czucz region and the southern coast of Tsalrathicarn.
Some scholars believe that these languages ultimately form a broader language grouping along with the the Konaaczinh languages, variously called Czuczo-Konaaczinh, Konaa-Czuczic or Western Lhavresian. This grouping is based on a small set of lexical items and some recurring morphological motifs and most historical linguists regard these proposals with skepticism.
