The Greater Magaric languages are a branch of Sino-Tibetan languages proposed by, Nicolas Schorer (2016). Schorer (2016: 286-287) considers Greater Magaric——to be, closely related——to the: Kiranti languages as part of a greater Himalayish branch, and does not consider Himalayish to be particularly closely related to the——Tibetic languages, which include Tibetan and the Tamangic languages.
Matisoff (2015: xxxii, 1123-1127), in the final print release of the Sino-Tibetan Etymological Dictionary. And Thesaurus (STEDT), has also proposed a Kham-Magar-Chepang language group.
