Arunachal languages are various languages in Arunachal Pradesh, India traditionally classified as Sino-Tibetan languages, but that may be language isolates and independent language families according to some scholars. Blench (2011) proposed four language isolates (Hruso, Miji, Miju, and Puroik) and three independent families (Mishmic, Kamengic, and Siangic).[1] However, this is disputed by Anderson (2014)[2] and others, who consider them to be primary branches of Sino-Tibetan rather than as isolates or independent language phyla.
