Hrusish languages

Eurasian Language Families

The Hrusish or Southeast Kamengic languages possibly constitute a Sino-Tibetan branch in Arunachal Pradesh, northeast India. They are Hruso (Aka) and Mijiic. In Glottolog, Hammarstrom et al. does not accept Hrusish, and considers similarities between Hruso and Miji to be due to loanwords.

Ancestor Of

Miji (Sulung) is most often grouped with Hruso (Aka) as the small Hrusish branch, itself of uncertain, disputed placement within Sino-Tibetan; linked here to the more specific Hrusish grouping rather than the broader, disputed Sino-Tibetan ancestor.
