The Newaric languages are a proposed grouping within the Sino-Tibetan family, spoken in Nepal. Linguists George van Driem in 2003 and Mark Turin in 2004 argued that Newar and the closely related Baram-Thangmi languages, comprising Baram and Thangmi, share enough features to form a genetic unit, though the proposal remains a working hypothesis rather than an established consensus.
