Line 62: == Overview == Most of the Tibeto-Burman languages are spoken in remote mountain areas, which has hampered their study ~~by linguists~~. Many lack a written standard. It is generally easier to identify a language as Tibeto-Burman than to determine its precise relationship with other languages of the group.{{sfnp\|Handel\|2008\|pp=424–432}} The subgroupings that have been established with certainty number several dozen, ranging from well-studied groups of dozens of languages with millions of speakers to several [[language isolate\|isolate]]s, some ~~of which have~~ only ~~recently been documented. These~~newly ~~languages~~discovered ~~are~~but in danger of extinction.{{sfnp\|van Driem\|2011a}} These subgroups are here surveyed on a geographical basis.
