The Hmar languages are a subbranch of the Kukish branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family which comprises Hmar proper (Khosak), Biete, Hrangkhol and Sakachep.[2] The Hmar languages are often treated as dialects of a single language, since differences between them are reportedly minor.[3] The speakers of the language are also known as Hmar.
