===Van Driem's "fallen leaves" model (2001, 2014)=== Van Driem has also proposed a "fallen leaves" model that lists dozens of well-established low-level groups while remaining agnostic about intermediate groupings of these.{{sfnp|van Driem|2001|p=403}} In the most recent version (van Driem 2014), 42 groups are identified (with individual languages highlighted in ''italics''):{{sfnp|van Driem|2014|p=19}} {{div col|colwidth=11em}} *[[Bodish languages|Bodish]] *''[[Tshangla language|Tshangla]]'' *[[West Himalayish languages|West Himalayish]] *[[Tamangic languages|Tamangic]] *[[Newaric languages|Newaric]] *[[Kiranti languages|Kiranti]] *''[[Lepcha language|Lepcha]]'' *[[Magaric languages|Magaric]] *[[Chepangic languages|Chepangic]] *[[Raji–Raute languages|Raji–Raute]] *''[[Dura language|Dura]]'' *''[['Ole language|'Ole]]'' *''[[Gongduk language|Gongduk]]'' *''[[Lhokpu language|Lhokpu]]'' *[[Siangic languages|Siangic]] *[[Kho-Bwa languages|Kho-Bwa]] *[[Hrusish languages|Hrusish]] *[[Digaro languages|Digarish]] *[[Miju languages|Midžuish]] *[[Tani languages|Tani]] *[[Dhimalish languages|Dhimalish]] *[[Brahmaputran languages|Brahmaputran]] (Sal) *''[[Pyu language (Burma)|Pyu]]'' *[[Ao languages|Ao]] *[[Angami–Pochuri languages|Angami–Pochuri]] *[[Tangkhul languages|Tangkhul]] *[[Zeme languages|Zeme]] *''[[Meithei language|Meithei]]'' *[[Kukish languages|Kukish]] *''[[Karbi language|Karbi]]'' *[[Mruic languages|Mru]] *[[Sinitic languages|Sinitic]] *[[Bai languages|Bai]] *[[Tujia language|Tujia]] *[[Lolo-Burmese languages|Lolo-Burmese]] *[[Qiangic languages|Qiangic]] *[[Ersu languages|Ersuish]] *[[Naic languages|Naic]] *[[Rgyalrongic languages|Rgyalrongic]] *[[Kachin–Luic languages|Kachinic]] *[[Nungish languages|Nungish]] *[[Karenic languages|Karenic]] {{div col end}} He also suggested (van Driem 2007) that the Sino–Tibetan language family be renamed "Trans–Himalayan", which he considers to be more neutral.{{sfnp|van Driem|2007|p=226}} Orlandi (2021) also considers the van Driem's Trans–Himalayan fallen leaves model to be more plausible than the bifurcate classification of Sino–Tibetan being split into Sinitic and Tibeto–Burman.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Orlandi |first=Georg |date=2021 |title=Once again on the history and validity of the Sino-Tibetan bifurcate model |url=https://jolr.ru/index.php?article=310 |journal=[[Journal of Language Relationship]] |volume=19 |issue=3–4 |pages=263–292}}</ref>
