Linguae Austro-Tai
Inter linguas Austro-Tai Paulus Benedict anno 1942 voluit includere familias Austronesianam, Tai-Kadai et Hmong-Mien (sive Miao-Yao). Insuper addens linguas Austroasiaticas breviter resurrexit familiam Austricam a Gulielmo Schmidt olim propositam, sed, multis eruditis renuentibus, coniunctionem Austricam in libro anni 1975 Benedict rursus reiecit. Anno 1990 proposuit cognationem familiae Austro-Tai cum lingua Iaponica.
