The author depicts and analyses the region, in particular the Indus Valley civilization, its links with neighbouring regions and its implications for social history. Each type of linguistic data is put into its socio-historical context. Consequently, the book is both a description of the unique methodology 'linguistic archaeology' and a treatment of South Asian linguistic data. 606 $aHistorical linguistics$zSouth Asia 606 $aIndus civilization 607 $aSouth Asia$xLanguages$xHistory 607 $aSouth Asia$xAntiquities 615 0$aHistorical linguistics 615 0$aIndus civilization. 676 $a491/.1 700 $aSouthworth$b Franklin C.$f1929-$0653810 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971858403321 996 $aLinguistic archaeology of South Asia$94495675 997 $aUNINA
