Serbi–Mongolic [note 1] is a proposed group of languages that includes the Mongolic languages as well as the Para-Mongolic languages, a proposed extinct sister branch of the Mongolic languages. [1]

In Glottolog 4.4, the languages are referred to as Mongolic–Khitan. [2]
Below is a preliminary classification of the Serbi–Mongolic languages in Shimunek (2017:35): [1]
Phonological innovations from Common Serbi–Mongolic (i.e., Proto-Serbi–Mongolic) to Proto-Mongolic and Proto-Serbi are (Shimunek 2017:415): [1]
