	Linguist List - Reviews Available for the Book
		Because Kham data have never before been brought to bear to any serious extent in discussions of areal and genetic linguistics, this book is also noteworthy for the contribution it makes to historical linguistics.
		Critical evaluation: Kham has an unusual structure, containing a number of characteristics that are of immediate relevance to current work on linguistic theory, including split ergativity and the system of demonstrative pronouns.
		Because Kham was discovered and documented only during the last 40 years, most of the data, like W's analysis itself, is completely new to linguistics literature.
