They are often classified as part of the [[Mahakiranti languages|Mahakiranti]] family, and Van Driem (2001) proposes that they are close relatives of Mahakiranti.<br /> <br /> Several neighboring languages with uncertain affiliation may prove to belong to a larger Magar family (&quot;[[Greater Magaric]]&quot;). These are [[Chepangic languages|Chepangic]], and possibly also [[Raji–Raute languages|Raji–Raute]] and [[Dura language|Dura languages]].<br /> <br /> Thurgood &amp; LaPolla (2003) included [[Kham language|Kham]] in LaPolla&#039;s speculative &#039;[[Rung languages|Rung]]&#039; proposal, but found the inclusion of Magar and Chepang less probable, suggesting that the evidence for even a Magar–Kham connection is far from clear-cut.<br /> <br /> The [[Kaike language]] is also spoken by the [[Magar people]], but is a [[Tamangic languages|Tamangic]] rather than a Magaric language.<br /> <br /> ==Classification==<br /> Schorer (2016:293)&lt;ref name=&quot;Schorer&quot;&gt;Schorer, Nicolas. 2016. &#039;&#039;The Dura Language: Grammar and Phylogeny&#039;&#039;.
