Subdivisions:

The Khasi–Khmuic languages are a primary branch of the Austroasiatic language family of Southeast Asia in the classification of Diffloth (2005).

Languages

The only proper classification of Austroasiatic in recent years is that of Diffloth (2005), which breaks up his 1974 conception of Mon–Khmer, resulting in Khasi–Khmuic and Nuclear Mon–Khmer (see). The Khasi–Khmuic languages are as follows:

 Khasi– 
 Khmuic 


Khmuic




Pakanic



Palaungic





Khasian



The extent of the recently described Pakanic branch is contested, with some including the Mangic languages and others placing those in Palaungic.
