Serbi–Mongolic, or Mongolic–Khitan, 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.[2]

Serbi (*serbi) is Shimunek's reconstruction for the historical ethnonym Xianbei (鮮卑).[2]

In Glottolog 4.4, the languages are referred to as Mongolic–Khitan.[3]
