Magaric languages

Eurasian Language Families

The Magar languages are a small proposed family of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken in Nepal and India, notably including Magar and Kham (Ethnologue treats each as a cluster of languages rather than a single language). They are often classified as part of the Mahakiranti family, and a 2001 study by George van Driem proposes that they are close relatives of Mahakiranti.
