Comments on the classification :

These languages have been theoretically linked to the Left May languages. They have also been associated with the Nai isolate, but this association is unattested. We have based our classification on the classification proposed by ethnologue.com, but we have excluded Nai.

The grouping of Fas and Kwomtari is also yet to be proven.
