The Rung languages are a proposed branch of
Sino-Tibetan languages. The branch was proposed by
Randy LaPolla on the basis of morphological evidence such as pronominal paradigms. However,
Guillaume Jacques and Thomas Pellard (2021) argues that these languages do not constitute a
monophyly based on recent phylogenetic studies[1][2] and on a thorough investigation of shared
lexical innovations.[3]
LaPolla (2003) lists the following languages as part of his provisional "Rung" group.[4]
