The Takic languages are a putative group of Uto-Aztecan languages spoken by Californian Native Americans in southern California. The Takic languages appear to be two distinct branches of Uto-Aztecan, Serran and Cupan, with similarities due to borrowing.
Takic languages are agglutinative languages, where words use suffix complexes for a variety of purposes with several morphemes strung together.
