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.

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.

No other atypical studied ( risperidone, quetiapine, and ziprasidone ) did better than the typical perphenazine on the measures used, nor did they produce fewer adverse effects than the typical antipsychotic perphenazine ( a result supported by a meta-analysis by Dr. Leucht published in Lancet ), although more patients discontinued perphenazine owing to extrapyramidal effects compared to the atypical agents ( 8 % vs. 2 % to 4 %, P = 0. 002 ).
