Home›Eurasian Language Families›Austroasiatic LanguagesGroupAustroasiatic LanguagesAustroasiatic is a large family of languages spoken across mainland Southeast Asia and scattered parts of eastern India, comprising the Munda languages of India and the much larger Mon-Khmer branch, which itself includes Vietnamese, Khmer and dozens of smaller languages grouped into named branches such as Khmuic, Palaungic, Bahnaric, Katuic, Pearic, Khasic and Aslian. This group holds every Eurasian Language Families member whose sourced description identifies it as Austroasiatic or as a member of one of these named branches, including the family's own reconstructed proto-language.FactsAustroasiatic LanguagesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEstimated Living LanguagesWell-attested168 1Austroasiatic LanguagesFilter Results24 entriesParent Family (Classification Tree)AllAustroasiatic (2)Mon-Khmer languages (1)Munda (1)RegionAllIndochina (1)Indochina, Malay Peninsula (1)main range of the Malay Peninsula (1)Mainland and island Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia (1)Mainland Southeast Asia: Laos and Vietnam (1)Nicobar Islands, India (1)Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand (1)Southern China (1)The Indo-Burman Ranges and mainland Indochina (1)Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos (1)Yunnan province, China, and Shan State, Burma (1)Speaker Count BandAll30000.000000 (1)33000.000000 (1)50000.000000 (1)700000.000000 (1)798400.000000 (1)1500000.000000 (1)11000000.000000 (1)86130000.000000 (1)117000000.000000 (2)In GroupAllAustroasiatic Languages (24)Macro-areaAllAustroasiatic Languages (24)BrowseCompareSelect all 24Angkuic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesAslianEurasian Language FamiliesAustricEurasian Language FamiliesAustroasiaticEurasian Language Families6 linksBahnaric languagesEurasian Language FamiliesBit-Khang languagesEurasian Language FamiliesCuoi languageEurasian Language FamiliesKatuic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesKhasic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesKhasi-PalaungicEurasian Language Families2 linksKherwarian languagesEurasian Language FamiliesKhmuicEurasian Language Families1 linkMonic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesMon-Khmer languagesEurasian Language Families1 linkMundaEurasian Language Families1 linkNicobareseEurasian Language FamiliesPakanic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesPalaungic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesPearic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesProto-Austroasiatic languageEurasian Language FamiliesSenoic languagesEurasian Language FamiliesTa'Oi languageEurasian Language FamiliesVieticEurasian Language Families1 linkWa languageEurasian Language FamiliesSources1.
