Taxonomy
This is an unrealistic cladogram of the language family – many splitoffs are just random placeholders and may not exist. The idea is to fill the family with languages like Tibetan, Thai, Laotian, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, and maybe some Austronesian-wannabes and some IE looking languages (you can see some experimentation of that description going on, but these may not be in the best places possible).
