Comments on the classification of Austro-Asiatic languages:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The classification presented here is based on that of Diffloth (2005)<\/p>\n

The classification of the Katuic languages is controversial, Sidwell doubts their membership in the Hmon-khmer group. The exact placement of Danau within the Austro-Asiatic languages is also uncertain.<\/p>\n
