Description

This repository archives the dataset of the article "Bayesian phylogenetics illuminate shallower relationships in Trans-Himalayan languages in Tibet-Arunachal area". The cognate annotation of Tshangla, Kho-Bwa, Hrusish, Mishmic, and Tani languages were done by us. The cognate decision on the other languages was annotated by Sagart et al. (2019).  Please use the following information to cite our work:
