Tibeto-Burman languages
The Tibeto-Burman languages are the non-Chinese members of the Sino-Tibetan language family, over 400 of which are spoken thoughout the highlands of southeast Asia, as well as lowland areas in Burma ....

 spoken in India. They are Khowa (Bugun), Sulung (Puroik), Lishpa, and Sherdukpen. Van Driem (2001) suggested the name Kho-Bwa based on the reconstructed words *kho 'fire' and *bwa 'water'.

Ethnologue leaves the classification of Lishpa and Sherdukpen unresolved, but notes that they are closest to Chug and Sartang, respectively, so these might also be expected to be Kho-Bwa languages.
