Verb paradigms, glossed texts, a Sunwar-English glossary and bibliographical references are also presented. Contact between the Sunwar and Nepali languages resulted in language change, most visible in the verbal system, where the older biactantial agreement system typical for Kiranti languages disappeared and suffix conjugations emerged. This book will interest those interested in descriptive linguistics, language change and languages of South Asia. 410 0$aBrill's Tibetan studies library ;$vv. 5/7. 410 0$aBrill's Tibetan studies library.$pLanguages of the greater Himalayan region. 606 $aSunwar language$xGrammar 606 $aSunwar language$vTexts 606 $aSunwar language$vGlossaries, vocabularies, etc 615 0$aSunwar language$xGrammar. 615 0$aSunwar language 615 0$aSunwar language 676 $a495/.49 700 $aBorchers$b Do?rte$01892784 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961779003321 996 $aA grammar of Sunwar$94539633 997 $aUNINA
