The Dura language is effectively extinct, although attempts at revival may be undertaken by well-intentioned members of Dura ethnicity. On the basis of a comprehensive study and analysis of all of the extant Dura language material, the book outlines the phonology, nominal and verbal morphology, lexical and syntactic properties as well as the phylogenetic position of the language in unprecedented detail. The result of the phylogenetic inquiry will help explain some of the sociocultural realities associated with the Dura community in Nepal and is a significant contribution to our understanding of the linguistic landscape of the Himalayas.Brill's Tibetan Studies Library17.Dura languageGrammarDura languageHistoryExtinct languagesNepalLamjung (Nepal : District)LanguagesDura languageGrammar.Dura languageHistory.Extinct languages495/.4Schorer Nicolas1623268NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910828463503321The Dura language3957574UNINA
