Hill, Nathan W., ed. (2012) Medieval Tibeto-Burman Languages IV. Leiden: Brill. (Languages of the Greater Himalayan Region, Brill's Tibetan Studies Library)
Abstract
While providing unique and detailed information on early Tibeto-Burman languages and their contact and relationship to other languages, this book at the same time sets out to establish a field of Tibeto-Burman comparative-historical linguistics based on the classical Indo-European model. The volume includes six papers on Tangut, three on Tibetan and one each on the languages Mon, Burmese, Lepcha, Pyu, Nam, and Yi. Building a bridge between linguistic and literary research the range of studies treats phonology, decipherment, literature and religion.
