Himalayish means any language originated in Himalayas. For example: Tibetan, Nepal Bhasa (also known as Newari), Sherpa, Tamang, Thakali, Raute, Magar, and Gurung. Indo-European languages, generally spoken by people of Indian origin are not Himalayish. They are referred as Sanskritic languages or Indo-Aryan languages. But languages that are spoken by natives of Himalayan regions such as Nepal and Tibet generally are Himalayish Tibeto-Burman languages.
