The approach is inspired by leading Tibeto-Burmanist, David Bradley, to whom the book is dedicated. The volume includes twelve original research essays written by eleven Tibeto-Burmanists drawing on first-hand field research in five countries to explore Tibeto-Burman languages descended from seven internal sub-branches. Following two introductory chapters, each contribution is focused on a specific Tibeto-Burman language or sub-branch, collectively contributing to the literature on language identification, language documentation, typological analysis, historical-comparative classification, linguistic theory, and language endangerment research with new analyses, state-of-the-art summaries and contemporary applications.Brill's Tibetan Studies Library20.Tibeto-Burman languagesSociolinguisticsSoutheast AsiaHistorical linguisticsSoutheast AsiaSoutheast AsiaLanguagesTibeto-Burman languages.SociolinguisticsHistorical linguistics813.54Sizhi Ding Picus1528452Pelkey Jamin1528453NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910795928503321Sociohistorical linguistics in Southeast Asia.
