Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Languages of the Northern Himalayas: Being Studies in the Grammar of Twenty-Six Himalayan Dialects I have endeavoured to make the representation of pronunciation rigidly accurate. This has entailed considerable labour. Only those who have tried to reproduce with absolute accuracy the nuances of pronunciation found in a language which has never been reduced to writing can understand what it means. In order to catch exactly the sounds produced by various speakers not only must one listen with unfailing care, but one must lay aside all prepossessions derived from a study of other dialects. It is dangerous to infer the pronunciation of a word in any new dialect. The value of the services of a literate speaker of a hill language is often lessened by his unconscious tendency to assimilate his words to some better-known literary form of speech.

Book excerpt: The survey work Languages of the Himalayas provides a bird's eye view of Himalayan languages and language communities. It also constitutes a primary source for much new, hitherto unpublished data on several languages. The demographic mosaic of the Himalayas today is viewed in a historical and comparative linguistic perspective. The reader will find an outline of the historical and prehistorical developments that have determined the modern ethnolinguistic composition of the Himalayan region, involving various independent linguistics stocks or language families. Maps illustrate the distribution of language communities and trace the routes of ancient migrations. There is an illuminating discussion of grammatical features found in Himalayan languages. The print edition is available as a set of two volumes (9789004103900).

Download or read book Languages of the Greater Himalayan Region, Volume 1 Rabha written by Umbavu Joseph and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rabha’s inhabit the plains on both sides of the Brahmaputra river in Assam, in the North East of India. Their language is Rabha, a member of the Tibeto-Burman language family. This is the first ever comprehensive grammar of the Róngdani dialect of Rabha, as spoken in, a.o., the Rabha heartlands. Based on extensive field work by the author, this work is yet another significant step in the meticulous task of piecing together the jigsaw of Himalayan languages as undertaken by George van Driem and his team. Given the steady decline of the Rabha language in favour of Assamese, all those interested in the language and history of the Himalayas and Northern India will welcome this volume. With a Rabha dictionary/vocabulary, and a series of key Rabha texts shedding light on its people’s customs. With financial support of the International Institute of Asian Studies (www.iias.nl).

Download or read book Linguistics of the Himalayas and Beyond written by Roland Bielmeier and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The approximately 250 languages of the Tibeto-Burman family are spoken by 65 million speakers in ten different countries including Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and China/Tibet. They are characterized by a fascinating linguistic, historical and cultural diversity. The languages spoken in the Himalayas, on their southern slopes and on the high Tibetan plateau in the north constitute the core of this diversity. Thus, the 21 papers mainly deal with these languages and some go even beyond to the area of the Blue Lake in northern Amdo and to southern Kham within linguistic Tibet. The ten papers dedicated to Tibetan linguistic studies offer approaches to the phonological analysis of Balti, to labial place assimilation, perfective stem renovation and stem alternation connected with verbal valence in Amdo Tibetan, to directional markers in Tokpe Gola in northeastern Nepal, to secondary verb constructions in Kham Tibetan, to narrative texts in Dzongkha, to case-marking patterns in various Tibetan dialects and to language history of Tibetan in general. Other papers deal with deictic patterns and narratives in western Himalayan Kinnauri and with the classification of neighbouring Bunan. With the Tamangic languages of northern Nepal the relationship between vowels and consonants and the development of demonstratives and plural markers are addressed. A further paper investigates the genetic relationship between Dzala and Dakpa, two East Bodish languages, and another one case-marking in Rabha and Manipuri in northeastern India. With the Kiranti languages Sampang, Limbu, Chaurasia and Sunwar in eastern Nepal, questions of accent, pronominally marked determiners, subclassification and language shift are discussed. The impressive selection of languages and linguistic topics dealt with in this book underlines the diversity of the Tibeto-Burman languages in Central and South Asia and highlights their place within present-day linguistic research. The results achieved by leading experts are remarkable in general, and the book is of interest to linguists, anthropologists and geographers.

Download or read book Linguistic Studies From the Himalayas, Vol. 18 written by T. Grahame Bailey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Linguistic Studies From the Himalayas, Vol. 18: Being Studies in the Grammar of Fifteen Himalayan Dialects This work is a continuation and, so far as some districts are concerned, a completion of Vol. XII of the Society's Monographs, entitled The Languages of the Northern Himalayas. There will be found in these pages studies in about fifteen languages or dialects, making along with those in the other volume a total of forty-one. The linguistic distribution is as follows: - Tibeto-Burman :two languages, Pürik and Lower Kanaurî and the Chitkhuli dialect. Lähnda: two dialects, Kägani and the Bährämgäla dialect. Western Pähäri: nine dialects in three groups, viz., five Koei dialects from Bashahr, spoken in Rohru, Rampur, Baghi, Sürkhuh Pargana, and Dodra Kuar; two from Jubbal, north and south; two from Suket, Eastern Suketi and Suket Siraji. Pänjabi: two dialects spoken in Bilaspur and Nalagarh, divided into six sub-dialects. There are also notes on the secret vocabularies of the Qalandar, who are conjurers and trainers of monkeys and bears, the Qasai or butchers, and of Panjabi gamblers. The vocabulary of the first-named is fairly complete. The others are very brief, but probably the total number of secret words is small. All are Aryan, except the Tibeto-Burman languages. As regards geographical position, we may say that. Purik is spoken between Kashmir and Ladakh round about Kargil, Lower Kanauri in Bashahr State immediately to the north-east of the five Koci dialects; Kagam is spoken in the Hazara district of the North-West Frontier Province, Bahramgala in Jammu State south of the Pir Panjal Pass.
