Arunachal languages are various languages inArunachal Pradesh,India traditionally classified asSino-Tibetan languages, but that may belanguage isolates and independentlanguage families according to some scholars. Blench (2011) proposed four language isolates (Hruso,Miji,Miju, andPuroik) and three independent families (Mishmic,Kamengic, andSiangic).[1] However, this is disputed by Anderson (2014)[2] and others, who consider them to be primary branches ofSino-Tibetan rather than as isolates or independent language phyla.
