This new work in Minhast historical linguistics, lead by Dr. Michael P. Harrison (an old pupil of the Minhast scholar Prof. Dr. Yoshi Hisakawa), and the subsequent revision of the internal splits into the different dialect groups gave place to the term ''"Minhastic Languages"'' as a way to address the whole group, owing to 1) the noticeable differences between the fringe dialects of the already established ''dialect continua'' and 2) the greater differences present in those dialects which had drifted apart from the rest earlier on, the paramount case of the latter being the CSD itself. | |||
This lead to a revision of the original ''Kilmarian Hypothesis'' posed by Hisakawa (Hisakawa et.al., 1957) which upheld the belief that, ''"when considered on their own"'' (i.e., only from a linguistic perspective), ''"the Regional Historical Dialects of mainland Minhay constitute a small language family, more heterogeneous than originally thought and related to other small languages"'' (the so called ''Shakhtabari Group'' of the ''Kilmay-Ri'' Family), with Minhast proper being but a central and incidentally more well known branch to it. | |||
A different school of thought, more conservative and reluctant to Hisakawa's theories, adopts a more loose criterion, grouping the Crane Speakers Dialect together with other "lost dialects", such as that of the ''Knife Speakers' '' and the extinct ''Šarmakandast'', in a miscellaneous group, without committing to any definitive classification. | |||

Typologically, Minhast is an ergative, polysynthetic language. Verbal morphology is highly aggluginative and performs noun incorporation and other complex valence operations. Unmarked word order is SOV. Ergativity surfaces both at the morphologic and syntactic levels. Both its ergative and polysynthetic characteristics have generated much academic research in comparative and theoretical linguistics. | Typologically, Minhast is an ergative, polysynthetic language.
