Major lines K2a-M214 (also known as NOX) as well as K2b-p331 (also known as MP but also ancestor of S and all K* in Aeta and Melanesia+ Australia includes haplogroup R1 y-dna)
Minor Lines K2c-P261 minor lineage of Bali(2-3%) and K2d-P402 small line in Java(2-3%). Out of 4226 k samples 5 were unresolved 4 in Sumatra which probably make up another Minor clade [1]
Estimates of the interval times for the branching events between M9 and P295 point to an initial rapid diversification process of K-M526 that likely occurred in Southeast Asia, with subsequent westward expansions of the ancestors of haplogroups R and Q.[1]
Haplogroup K(xLT)(also known as K2) is the ancestral haplogroup to two main haplogroups, one of which is NOX (also known as K2a) which includes most Eastern Eurasian and Finno-Ugrian male lineages, another MPS(also known as K2b) Mostly found in Europe, Central Asia, South Asia, Siberia, Eastern Indonesia, Melanesia, and Australia. These two branch's take up all K(xLTS) ever found anywhere, other than Indonesia, including all K in Papua New Guinea. Two other verified branch's exist in K(xLT) one found at a low frequency in Java the other a low frequency in Bali. 6 unresolved K'S exist 5 in Sumatra and 1 in Sulawesi, since these are all found in or near Sumatra they probably make up the 5th and last branch of K2b(KxLT), but that has not been verified.
The naming of K(xLT) was a "revolution" in haplogroup designation, because prior to that the formula "K(xLT)" never designated a single haplogroup, but instead "everything that belongs to K, but does not belong to LT". The traditional way would have been to rename haplogroups K1, K2, K3 and K4 into U, V, W and X, and to rename MNOPS into MNOPSUVWX, but the YCC decided otherwise. This poses a great problem, because there is no way to disambiguate between "K(xLT)" in the traditional and in the new meaning.
Subclades
Tree
The basic structure is as follows:
Haplogroup LT (K2). Spotty with L being found at its highest frequency in Baloch of Afghanistan and western cost of India and Pakistan , while T is most common among some Jewish communities, Ethiopan Somalians, some alpine cities, some Aegean Islands and a few tribes of India
O Sino-Tibetans +prehistoric Longshan and Daxi and Xiajiadian which was divided between N and O3 (Xiajiadian was mixed others were pure) (O3), Austronesians + prehistoric Liangzhu (O1), and Austro-Asiatics (O2) dominant east Asian line (O) note O1 and O2 form a clade against O3 called O1'2
M (M-P256*). Found in Papua New Guinea, New Britain and across Melanesia but very rare in Australia .
S (S-P405)Found in Papua New Guinea, New Britain and across Melanesia and Australia but rare in Polynesia found in 1900 ad Australian Aborigine (not to be confused with S-P230).
K2b1-P378 Found exclusively in the Aeta who have it at 60%.
K2b1-P336 found at 26% on the Island of Alor found also in other parts of eastern Indonesia at very low frequency
R1b West Europe, Chadic Langauges, Armenian Highlands (Found in several Bell Beakers from Germany and in late antique Basques of whom it is still common in as well as 13.3% (4):one P probably R1b2-v88: of Guanches from the Canary Islands, (reports of King Tut by iGENEA belonging to R1b have not been verified)

^K-M2313*, which as yet has no phylogenetic name, has been documented in two living individuals, who have ethnic ties to India and South East Asia. In addition, K-Y28299, which appears to be a primary branch of K-M2313, has been found in three living individuals from India.

^ Haplogroup S, as of 2017, is also known as K2b1a. (Previously the name Haplogroup S was assigned to K2b1a4.)
^ Haplogroup M, as of 2017, is also known as K2b1b. (Previously the name Haplogroup M was assigned to K2b1d.)
