TheRung languages are a proposed branch ofSino-Tibetan languages. The branch was proposed byRandy LaPolla on the basis of morphological evidence such as pronominal paradigms. However,Guillaume Jacques and Thomas Pellard (2021) argues that these languages do not constitute amonophyly based on recent phylogenetic studies[1][2] and on a thorough investigation of sharedlexical innovations.[3]
LaPolla (2003) lists the following languages as part of his provisional "Rung" group.[4]
Kham,Magar, andChepangic have also been proposed to form part of aGreater Magaric group.
