Abstract
The Austroasiatic phylum spans South and Southeast Asia, with more than 150 languages over at least a dozen branches Comparative-historical work on Austroasiatic has been done for over a century, yet it has proceeded only in fits and starts, such that today we are still not sure how the branches fit together as a family In this review, the history of efforts to understand the classification of Austroasiatic is examined, and the features that distinguish each of the constituent branches are described
