Lhoba tribespeople living in Chinese Tibet speak at least three mutually-unintelligible Tibeto-Burman languages: Idu Mishmi of the Digaro Family, Bokar ( Adi ) of the Eastern Tani branch, and Na ( Bengni ) of the Western Tani branch.

The Lisu people (, ;, Lìsù zú ; ; Lisu: ꓡꓲ-ꓢꓴ or ꓡꓲꓢꓴ ) are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group who inhabit the mountainous regions of Burma ( Myanmar ), Southwest China, Thailand, and the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.

Through careful and elaborate comparisons of the various languages spoken in India and Burma he demonstrated clearly the dialects spoken by the Zomi are a distinct language group under the Assam-Burmese branch of the Tibeto-Burman family of languages.

Lisu ( Lisu: ꓡꓲ-ꓢꓴ or ꓡꓲꓢꓴ ;, ) is a tonal Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Yunnan ( southwestern China ), northern Burma ( Myanmar ), and Thailand and a small part of India.

Their languages ( of which the largest is Lusei Duhlian dialect ) belong to the Tibeto-Burman, their brethren are the Chins in the adjacent Chin State of Burma, as well as those of the Kukis.

The original home of the various people speaking Tibeto-Burman languages was in western China near the Yang-Tee-Kiang and the Howang-ho rivers and from these places they went down the courses of the Brahmaputra, the Chindwin and the Irrawaddy and entered India and Burma.

The Chin people are of Tibeto-Burman groups and probably came to Burma, especially the Chindwin valley in the late 9-10 century AD.

Tani, Miric, Adi – Galo – Mishing – Nishi ( Bradley 1997 ), or Abor – Miri – Dafla ( Matisoff 2003 ), is a compact family of Tibeto-Burman languages situated at the eastern end of the Himalayas, in an area skirted on four sides by Tibet, Assam, Bhutan, and Burma.

India has more than two thousand ethnic groups, and every major religion is represented, as are four major families of languages ( Indo-European, Dravidian, Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman languages ) as well as two language isolates ( the Nihali language spoken in parts of Maharashtra and the Burushaski language spoken in parts of Jammu and Kashmir ).

Gangte is also the name of the language spoken by the Gangte people of northeast India, one of the northern Kukish languages of the Tibeto-Burman family.

Limbu ( Limbu: Yakthungpan ; " Language of the Yakthung ") is a Sino-Tibetan / Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Nepal, Sikkim, Kashmir and parts of Northern India by the Limbu and Monpa community.

Angami ( also: Gnamei, Ngami, Tsoghami, Tsugumi, Monr, Tsanglo, Tenyidie ) is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the Naga Hills in the northeastern part of India, in Kohima district, Nagaland.

The relatively autonomous Mongoloid tribal groups of Northeastern India ( including Khasis, Apatani and Nagas ), who are mostly Austro-Asiatic or Tibeto-Burman speakers, are also considered to be adivasis: this area comprises 7. 5 % of India's land area but 20 % of its adivasi population.

( 2003 ) indicates that: "( 1 ) there is an underlying unity of female lineages in India, indicating that the initial number of female settlers may have been small ; ( 2 ) the tribal and the caste populations are highly differentiated ; ( 3 ) the Austro-Asiatic tribals are the earliest settlers in India, providing support to one anthropological hypothesis while refuting some others ; ( 4 ) a major wave of humans entered India through the northeast ; ( 5 ) the Tibeto-Burman tribals share considerable genetic commonalities with the Austro-Asiatic tribals, supporting the hypothesis that they may have shared a common habitat in southern China, but the two groups of tribals can be differentiated on the basis of Y-chromosomal haplotypes ; ( 6 ) the Dravidian tribals were possibly widespread throughout India before the arrival of the Indo-European-speaking nomads, but retreated to southern India to avoid dominance ; ( 7 ) formation of populations by fission that resulted in founder and drift effects have left their imprints on the genetic structures of contemporary populations ; ( 8 ) the upper castes show closer genetic affinities with Central Asian populations, although those of southern India are more distant than those of northern India ; ( 9 ) historical gene flow into India has contributed to a considerable obliteration of genetic histories of contemporary populations so that there is at present no clear congruence of genetic and geographical or sociocultural affinities.

Tibeto-Burman languages are spoken in the North and North East India.

Although most aspirated obstruents in the world's language are stops and affricates, aspirated fricatives such as, or have also been documented in a few Tibeto-Burman languages, in some Oto-Manguean languages and in the Siouan language Ofo.

They are also known as the Lhops, Lhopu, or Lhokpu and speak a Tibeto-Burman language.

Indigenous janajati ethnic groups — natively speaking highly localized Tibeto-Burman languages and dialects — populate hillsides up to about.

The Sino-Tibetan languages are a family of some 250 languages of East Asia, Southeast Asia and parts of South Asia, including the Sinitic ( Chinese ) and Tibeto-Burman languages.

The name " Tibeto-Burman " was first applied to this group in 1856 by James Richardson Logan, who added Karen in 1858.

Studies of the " Indo-Chinese " languages of Southeast Asia from the mid-19th century by Logan and others revealed that they comprised four families: Tibeto-Burman, Tai, Mon – Khmer and Malayo-Polynesian.

In 1858 Logan suggested that Chinese, Tibeto-Burman, Tai and Mon – Annamese ( Mon – Khmer ) formed a Chino-Himalaic subgroup of Turanian.

Most later Western scholars, such as Bradley ( 1997 ) and La Polla ( 2003 ) have retained Matisoff's two primary branches, though differing in the details of Tibeto-Burman.

However, Jacques ( 2006 ) notes, " comparative work has never been able to put forth evidence for common innovations to all the Tibeto-Burman languages ( the Sino-Tibetan languages to the exclusion of Chinese )," and that " it no longer seems justified to treat Chinese as the first branching of the Sino-Tibetan family ," as the morphological divide between Chinese and Tibeto-Burman has been bridged by recent reconstructions of Old Chinese.

Thus a conservative classification of Sino-Tibetan / Tibeto-Burman would posit several dozen small coordinate families and isolates ; attempts at subgrouping are either geographic conveniences or hypotheses for further research.

See Tibeto-Burman for contrastive classifications.

A few scholars, most prominently Christopher Beckwith and Roy Andrew Miller, argue that Chinese is not related to Tibeto-Burman.

They point to what they consider an absence of regular sound correspondences, an absence of reconstructable shared morphology, and evidence that much shared lexical material has been borrowed from Chinese into Tibeto-Burman.

Starostin ( 1996 ) proposed that both the Kiranti languages and Chinese are divergent from a " core " Tibeto-Burman of at least Bodish, Lolo – Burmese, Tamangic, Jinghpaw, Kukish, and Karen ( other families were not analysed ) in a hypothesis called Sino-Kiranti.

Van Driem points to two main pieces of evidence establishing a special relationship between Sinitic and Bodic, and thus placing Chinese within the Tibeto-Burman family.

While it is true that some of the cognate sets presented by supporters of the Sino-Bodic hypothesis are confined to Chinese and Bodic, many others are found in Tibeto-Burman languages generally and thus do not serve as evidence for a special relationship between Chinese and Bodic.

However, Nepal Bhasa, the original language of Kathmandu, is non-tonal, as are several Tibetan dialects and many other Tibeto-Burman languages.

At a subsequent age, peoples speaking languages from two other language families — Dravidian and Tibeto-Burman — seem to have settled in Bengal.

They are used by languages of several language families: Indo-European, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman, Mongolic ( Soyombo alphabet ), Austro-Asiatic, Austronesian, Tai.
