| | Many of the languages are tonal, which however is usually considered to be an areal feature rather than evidence of a genealogical relationship. | | | This reconstruction was based largely upon data from Written Tibetan, Written Burmese, Mizo (Lushai), and Jingpho (Kachin). | | | For example, Matisoff makes no claim that the subfamilies in the Kamarupan or Himalayish groups have special relationship to one another other than a geographic one. |

| | The Baric languages with the most speakers are Meithei (also known as Manipuri), with over one million speakers in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur, and Lushai (also known as Mizo), with 500,000 speakers in the Indian state of Mizoram, which borders Manipur. | | | With more than 800 million speakers, it is spoken by more people than any other language in the world. | | | Linguists believe that languages in the Sino-Tibetan family are related, having a common ancestral language. |

| | Before the conclusive demonstration that unwritten languages could be classified genetically, they were often relegated to a typological classification, which at one time was denigrated by scholars. | | | In terms of numbers of speakers, however, the people in Europe who speak the languages of these families are now fewer than those in non-European countries who also speak such languages. | | | A language isolate may be classified, along with normal language families, under the rubric of an extensive phylum (e.g., Korean is sometimes classified as a member of a hypothetical Ural-Altaic phylum) or left wholly unclassified (e.g., the Ainu language of Japan). |
