Ammonium chloride is the ionic salt NH4​Cl. In water, its ammonium ion can donate a proton, so the solution's acid-base behaviour is related to the Ammonia-ammonium equilibrium.
This is an example of a salt whose dissolved ions affect pH. Calling a substance a salt describes its ionic composition; it does not imply that every aqueous solution of it must be neutral.
