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. Nashaghan has long served as the dynastic language of the Taayim monarchy in Khezan, considered not only as the language of the ruling class but also favoured by the elite. In the northern regions of Vaniua, the proliferation of eastern Zarasaism, primarily through the influential Sahdi movement, catalyzed the adoption of Nashaghan as the clerical language among many southern states within the Masic linguistic sphere.

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, Ghalar or Wazan. 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.
