The Tusanggan language (Traditional Qi Script: 大山嶽語; Simplified Qi Script: 大山岳语; Tusanggan Alphabetization: Tusănggàngṳ̌; Aplhabetized Huajiangite: Dàshānyuèyǔ) is a language that is primarily spoken by the Tusaanga in north Huajiang. It is the first language of mainly Tusangga people and is the second language of over eighty percent of the Tussanga population. Tusaangu is not mutually intelligible with other Qi languages. Tusangga language is derived from Middle Qi.\

Tussangan is seen as the defining language of the Tusanggu, and is apart of their cultural identity across Northern Huajiang and abroad.
