The Rung languages are a proposed branch of Sino-Tibetan languages. The branch was proposed by Randy LaPolla on the basis of morphological evidence such as pronominal paradigms.
LaPolla (2003) lists the following languages as part of his provisional "Rung" group.
- Rung
- Rgyalrongic
- Nungish
- Kiranti
- West Himalayan (Kinauri-Almora)
- Kinauri
- Almora
- Kham
- Magar
- Chepang
Kham, Magar, and Chepangic have also been proposed to form part of a larger Magaric group.
