A link between the Na–Dené languages and Sino-Tibetan languages, known as '''Sino–Dené''' was proposed by [[Edward Sapir]]. Around 1920 Sapir became convinced that Na-Dené was more closely related to Sino-Tibetan than to other American families.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ruhlen |first=Merritt |date=1998-11-10 |title=The origin of the Na-Dene |journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences |language=en |volume=95 |issue=23 |pages=13994–13996 |bibcode=1998PNAS...9513994R |doi=10.1073/pnas.95.23.13994 |issn=0027-8424 |pmc=25007 |pmid=9811914 |doi-access=free}}</ref> He wrote a series of letters to [[Alfred Kroeber]] where he enthusiastically spoke of a connection between Na-Dene and "Indo-Chinese". In 1925, a supporting article summarizing his thoughts, albeit not written by him, entitled "The Similarities of Chinese and Indian Languages", was published in Science Supplements.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Orlandi |first=Georg |date=2021-12-01 |title=Once again on the history and validity of the Sino-Tibetan bifurcate model / Еще раз к вопросу об истории и степени обоснованности бинарной модели классификации сино-тибетских языков |url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/jlr-2021-193-409/html?lang=en |journal=Journal of Language Relationship |language=en |volume=19 |issue=3–4 |pages=263–292 |doi=10.1515/jlr-2021-193-409 |doi-broken-date=
Edward Vajda's Dené–Yeniseian proposal renewed interest among linguists such as [[Geoffrey Caveney]] (2014) to look into support for the Sino–Dené hypothesis. Caveney considered a link between Sino-Tibetan, Na-Dené, and Yeniseian to be plausible but did not support the hypothesis that Sino-Tibetan and Na-Dené were related to the Caucasian languages (Sino–Caucasian and Dené–Caucasian).<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Caveney |first=Geoffrey |date=2014 |title=Sino-Tibetan ŋ- and Na-Dene *kw- / *gw- / *xw-: 1st Person Pronouns and Lexical Cognate Sets |journal=Journal of Chinese Linguistics |volume=42 |issue=2 |pages=461–487 |jstor=24774894}}</ref>
