Arunachal Pradesh should be treated as a major priority on a global scale.

But perhaps it would be useful to begin considering this region as more similar to the Amazon or NE Asia than Tibet.

Arunachal Pradesh consists of a chain of isolated languages, which have been on the southern edge of the core Tibeto-Burman area.
