Home›Eurasian Language Families›In Group›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 entriesMacro-areaAllAustroasiatic Languages (24)Parent Family (Classification Tree)AllAustroasiatic (2)Speaker Count BandAll24,600 to 795,000 (6)798,400 to 3,238,000,000 (6)RegionAllAsia (18)Bengal (2)China (3)East Asia (5)Indochina (4)Laos (3)Madagascar (1)Myanmar (1)South Asia (3)Southeast Asia (6)Vietnam (3)Reconstructed AncestorAllReconstructed (14)Classification StatusAllEstablished (16)Number of LanguagesAll2 (2)16 to 1,408 (4)3 to 5 (4)6 to 15 (6)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 24Angkuic languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesAslianAustroasiatic LanguagesAustricAustroasiatic LanguagesAustroasiaticAustroasiatic LanguagesBahnaric languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesBit-Khang languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesCuối languageAustroasiatic LanguagesKatuic languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesKhasic languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesKhasi-PalaungicAustroasiatic LanguagesKherwarian languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesKhmuicAustroasiatic LanguagesMonic languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesMon-Khmer languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesMundaAustroasiatic LanguagesNicobareseAustroasiatic LanguagesPakanic languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesPalaungic languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesPearic languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesProto-Austroasiatic languageAustroasiatic LanguagesSenoic languagesAustroasiatic LanguagesTa'Oi languageAustroasiatic LanguagesVieticAustroasiatic LanguagesWa languageAustroasiatic LanguagesSources1.
