The given list was compiled to test the relatedness of 22 Kho-Bwa languages, supposedly constituting a separate branch within the Tibeto-Burman subgroup. The analysis of their shared core vocabulary also included 7 other Tibeto-Burman varieties to contrast them with the Kho-Bwa languages. This list is mainly based on the Leipzig-Jakarta 100 concept list (Haspelmath and Tadmor 2009), with some entries, considered ambiguous by the compilers, being replaced with items from the Swadesh list (1971).
