The babblers, family Timaliidae, are an important group of Old World insectivorous passerines.
The results indicate that several species traditionally placed among babblers are not related to the Timaliidae, but belong to other passerine groups (especially the "babblers" from Madagascar).
Several babbler genera are polyphyletic, and results from the molecular phylogeny challenge the traditional classification of the Timaliidae.

babbler, common name for some members of the large, diversified family Timaliidae, passerine birds found primarily in wooded areas of Asia, Africa, and Australia.
Babblers have soft, fluffy plumage and vary in coloring; various species resemble other birds, and five of the seven groups of babblers are named on this basis : the wren babblers, the tit babblers, the laughing thrushes, and the crow tits, or parrotbills.
They are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Passeriformes, family Timaliidae.
