Primarily based on The Sino-Tibetan Languages By Graham Thurgood, Randy J. LaPolla. LSD (talk) 22:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first chapter of that book contains an outline classification of ST languages by Thurgood, but it seems very different from this tree. For example Thurgood subdivides Chinese as Northern, Central and Southern, and Tibeto-Burman into Lolo-Burmese, Bodic, Sal, Kuki-Chin-Naga, Rung and Karenic. Kanguole 16:29, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
