Prinmi belongs to the Qiangic branch and is closely related to the extinct language of Tangut. Picus Ding examines in the grammar the phonology (both segmental and suprasegmental), morphology, syntax and information structure of Prinmi, with two sample texts and an English-Prinmi glossary provided in appendices. Some noteworthy features of Prinmi include a wealth of clitics (appearing as proclitic, enclitic, mesoclitic or endoclitic), a lexical tone system akin to Japanese, and a collection of existential verbs that discriminates concreteness, animacy, and location.Languages of the greater Himalayan region.Brill's Tibetan studies library ;Volume 5/14.Chinese languageDialectsGrammarChinese languageDialectsChinaYunnanElectronic books.Chinese languageDialectsGrammar.Chinese languageDialects495.17Ding Picus Sizhi931434MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464773003321A Grammar of Prinmi2095233UNINA
