Though the division of Sino-Tibetan into Sinitic and Tibeto-Burman branches (e.g. Benedict, Matisoff) is widely used, some historical linguists criticize this classification, as the non-Sinitic Sino-Tibetan languages lack any shared innovations in phonology or morphology [2] to show that they comprise a clade of the phylogenetic tree.

The International Conference on Sino-Tibetan Languages and Linguistics (ICSTLL) is an annual academic conference that focuses on research in Sino-Tibetan languages and linguistics, as well as the Hmong–Mien, Kra–Dai, and Austroasiatic languages. The conference has been held annually since 1968.

The existence of such elaborate system of inflectional changes in Proto-Sino-Tibetan makes the language distinctive from some of its modern descendants, such as the Sinitic languages, which have mostly or completely become analytic. Proto-Sino-Tibetan, like Old Chinese, also included numerous consonant clusters, and was not a tonal language.
