Here we discuss morphological evidence that these systems share a common ancestor more recent than PTH. There is strong evidence connecting Jinghpaw with both Northern Naga and Kuki-Chin, and weaker evidence directly linking Northern Naga and Kuki-Chin, and both of these with Meyor. This is evidence that all of these languages belong to a single branch of the family, an idea which has been suggested in the past but never argued for.}, besttxt = {ptxt2\eurasia\delancey_central-trans-himalayan2015.txt}, cfn = {eurasia\delancey_central-trans-himalayan2015.pdf}, citekeys = {cldf11:delancey15central}, fn = {eurasia\delancey_central-trans-himalayan2015.pdf}, hhtype = {overview;comparative}, inlg = {English [eng]}, isreferencedby = {cldf11}, macro_area = {Eurasia}, owner = {GJacques}, src = {cldf, evobib, hh}, timestamp = {2016.06.25} }
