Central Tibeto-Burman or Central Trans-Himalayan is a proposed branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family proposed by Scott DeLancey (2015) on the basis of shared morphological evidence.
DeLancey (2018) considers Central Tibeto-Burman to be a linkage rather than a branch with a clearly nested internal structure.
DeLancey's Central Tibeto-Burman group includes many languages in Matisoff's (2015: 1123–1127) proposed Northeast Indian areal group, which includes Tani, Deng (Digaro), “Kuki-Chin–Naga”, Meitei, Mikir, Mru, and Sal.
