DeLancey (2018)[2] considers Central Tibeto-Burman to be a linkage rather than a branch with a clearly nested internal structure.
DeLancey's Central Tibeto-Burman group includes many languages in Matisoff's (2015: 1123-1127)[3] proposed Northeast Indian areal group, which includes Tani, Deng (Digaro), “Kuki-Chin–Naga”, Meitei, Mikir, Mru, and Sal.
