They are characterized as a dialect continuum.

Bhumij,Ho,Mundari,and Santali are notable Munda languages.
The Yeniseian languages are a family of languages that are spoken by the Yeniseian people in the Yenisei River region of central Siberia.

The only surviving language of the group today is Ket.
