She (Ho-Ne) has long been recognized as a divergent language. It has been difficult to classify because of its numerous Chinese loanwords. Recently, it has been concluded that a few other Miao languages may be closer to She than to the rest of the family.

Taguchi (2012),[2] in a computational phylogenetic study, found Ho Ne (She), Kiong Nai and Pana (Pa Na) to form a branch of the Miao (Hmongic) family, with She closest to Pa Na. Hsiu (2015, 2018),[3][4] also in a computational phylogenetic study, found She to be closest to Kiong Nai, and added Younuo as a fourth language.
Yuno has also been classified as Bahengic.

gollark: Possibly more useful would be the ability to temporarily assign nouns to "variables" or something in a language, and then reference those in place of a noun.
gollark: no.
gollark: People are *terrible* at thinking of words which satisfy property X on the spot.
