The Burmo-Qiangic or Eastern Tibeto-Burman languages are a proposed family of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken in Southwest China and Myanmar. It consists of the Lolo-Burmese and Qiangic branches. Tujia, Bai, and perhaps the Karen languages could also be members or closely related. ==Classification== Guillaume Jacques & Alexis Michaud (2011)〔Jacques, Guillaume, and Alexis Michaud. 2011. "(Approaching the historical phonology of three highly eroded Sino-Tibetan languages )." ''Diachronica'' 28:468–498.〕 argue for a Burmo-Qiangic branch of Sino-Tibetan (Tibeto-Burman) with two primary subbranches, Qiangic and Lolo-Burmese. Similarly, David Bradley (2008)〔Bradley, David. 2008. ''The Position of Namuyi in Tibeto-Burman''.〕 proposes an Eastern Tibeto-Burman branch that includes Burmic ( Lolo-Burmese) and Qiangic. Bradley notes that Lolo-Burmese and Qiangic share some unique lexical items, even though they are morphologically quite different; whereas all Lolo-Burmese languages are tonal and analytical, Qiangic languages are often non-tonal and possess agglutinative morphology. However, the position of Naic is unclear, as it has been grouped as Lolo-Burmese by Lama (2012), but as Qiangic by Jacques & Michaud (2011) and Bradley (2008). Jacques' & Michaud's (2011) proposed tree is as follows. }} Bradley's (2008) proposal is as follows. Note that Bradley calls Lolo-Burmese ''Burmic'', which is not to be confused with ''Burmish'', and calls Loloish is ''Ngwi''. }} However, Chirkova (2012)〔Chirkova, Katia (2012). "(The Qiangic Subgroup from an Areal Perspective: A Case Study of Languages of Muli )." In ''Languages and Linguistics'' 13(1):133-170. Taipei: Academia Sinica.〕 doubts that Qiangic is a valid genetic unit, and considers Ersu, Shixing, Namuyi, and Pumi all as separate Tibeto-Burman branches that are part of a Qiangic Sprachbund, rather than as part of a coherent Qiangic phylogenetic branch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burmo-Qiangic languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
