STEDT: The Sino-Tibetan Family Ersu/Tosu is perhaps an indirect descendant of the extinct Xixia (=Hsi-hsia=Tangut) language, spoken in a once-powerful empire in the Tibetan-Chinese-Uighur border regions, finally destroyed by the Mongols in the 13th c. A further complication is the fact that many language names are used in both a narrower and a broader sense, sometimes referring to one specific language, but often to a whole group of linguistically or culturally related languages. Thus, the 20,000 speakers of a certain language of Nagaland call themselves and their language Memi (and used to call themselves Imemai), but they and their language are now known to outsiders either as Mao, or as Sopvoma (the name of their principal village). stedt.berkeley.edu /html/STfamily.html

Section 3 There have been several attempts to classify the Tibeto-Burman languages, for example, Shafer (1955, 1966, 1967, 1974), Benedict (1972), Thurgood (1985) and Nishi (1990). It includes Tibetan, which is one of the two best known Tibeto-Burman languages (the other being Burmese) and West Himalayish languages, which are some of the least documented languages among the Tibeto-Burman language family. The Tibeto-Kinnauri languages considered in this monograph are Tibetan, Kinnauri, Pa tÁ www.lingfil.uu.se /personal/anjusaxena/kinnauri.html

Bibliography of Tibeto-Burman Languages and Cultures In the bibliography sorted by language name, certain choices about which language name to use for the heading had to be made. There are two versions of the bibliography, one sorted by language name, and one sorted by author's name. Much is owed to Frank Huffman's Bibliography and index of mainland Southeast Asian languages and linguistics (New Haven, CT : Yale University Press, 1986), particularly for many of the more obscure references and many of the notes which follow the references in brackets. victoria.linguistlist.org /~lapolla/bib

Tibeto-Burman Historical Grammar In terms of numbers of speakers, the Tibeto-Burman language family is the largest language family in the world after Indo-European. The central importance of flexional morphology in Tibeto-Burman was not fully appreciated until the appearance in 1975 of James John Bauman's Pronouns and Pronominal Morphology in Tibeto-Burman. 'The Yakkha verb: interpretation and analysis of the Omruwa material (a Kiranti language of eastern Nepal)', Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, LVII (2): 347-355. iias.leidenuniv.nl /host/himalaya/individ/kirmor.html

Burmese The Sino-Tibetan language family consists of the Chinese, or Sinitic, languages (dialects), all spoken in China, and several hundred Tibeto-Burman languages spoken as far west as Pakistan and as far east as Vietnam. The most important of the Tibeto-Burman group are Tibetan, the dominant language of Tibet, and Burmese, the official language of Burma. Because of the clear relationship between these agreement markers and the independent pronouns, these languages are often referred to as "pronominalized." Many languages of the family are "ergative," placing case-marking on the subject of a transitive verb, rather than on the object as in most European languages, and leaving transitive objects and intransitive subjects unmarked. thor.prohosting.com /~linguist/burmese.htm

fastweb?getdoc+ericdb+ericdb+664826+18+wAAA+Birds The present volume, the third of a four-part report on the Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal, includes text materials on Burung, by Warren Glover; on Tamang, by Doreen Taylor, and on Thakali, by Annemarie Hari and Anita Maibaum. For each language, a list of included texts is given, with the native language divided into sequentially-numbered sentences and followed by a literal English translation, usually morpheme-by-morpheme. Grammatical notes are included at the end of each set of texts, which explain abbreviations and letters in the literal English translation lines and any intonation symbols in the native language lines. eduref.org /plweb-cgi/fastweb?getdoc+ericdb+ericdb+664826+18+wAAA+Birds

Articles - Sino-Tibetan languages The Kusunda language of western Nepal is often thought to a remnant of the pre-Tibetoburman indigenous languages of the southern Himalayas. Many of the languages are tonal, which however is usually considered to be an areal feature rather than evidence of a genealogical relationship. Sino-Tibetan languages form a language family of about 250 languages of East Asia, second only to Indo-European in terms of the number of speakers. gaple.com /articles/Sino-Tibetan_languages?...

Randy LaPolla LaPolla's work revolves around the recording and analysis (including comparative analysis) of Sino-Tibetan languages, and attempting to answer the question of why the languages of this language family are the way they are. From this work, he has also developed certain answers to more general theoretical questions, such as the nature of language and its function in communication.

STEDT Home Page Our goal is the publication of an etymological dictionary of Proto-Sino-Tibetan (PST), the ancestor language of the large Sino-Tibetan language family. The chairpersons are Professor Li Rulong (Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Art College, Xiamen University), Professor Sun Hongkai (Institute of Ethnology & Anthropology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences), and Professor Dai Qingxia (Central University for Nationalities). This family includes Chinese, Tibetan, Burmese, and over 200 other languages spoken in South and Southeast Asia. stedt.berkeley.edu

Tibeto-Burman Languages Page Straightforward geographical considerations would suggest as a center of dispersal for the Tibeto-Burman languages somewhere in eastern Tibet. This page has lots of goodies, including a good outline of the Sino-Tibetan family and the Tibeto-Burman languages, and an extensive (though not comprehensive) bibliography of work on ST/TB, as well as a description of the STEDT project itself. TB languages are found from Sichuan and Qinghai in the north to the southern extremity of Myanmar, and from northwestern Vietnam in the east to northern Pakistan in the west. www.uoregon.edu /~delancey/tb.html

TIBETO-BURMAN LANGUAGES - LoveToKnow Article on TIBETO-BURMAN LANGUAGES This development can still be followed in the Tibeto-Burman languages. The same is the case with Kachin and some Nagg dialects, while the remaining Tibeto-Burman languages apparently agree with such Tibetan dialects as are devoid of tones. The Tibeto-Burman family comprises a long series of dialects spoken from Tibet in the north to Burma in the south, and from the Ladkh wathrat of Kashmir in the west to the Chinese provinces of Sze-chuen and Yunnan in the east. www.1911encyclopedia.org /T/TI/TIBETO_BURMAN_LANGUAGES.htm

recrubs This book on the pre-modern Tibeto-Burman languages represents a movement to establish a field of Tibeto-Burman comparative-historical linguistics according to the classical Indo-European model. An exhaustive bibliography of works and their translations in Indian and foreign languages and a select bio-critical notices enhance the scope of this unique encyclopaedia. This volume explores the Bengali Kartabhaja sect and its place in the broader movement of Tantra, an Indian religious movement notorious for its alleged use of shocking sexual language and rituals. nelc.ohio-state.edu /news/folklore/yr2002/vol17num3/recrubs.cfm   (519 words)

The Ultimate Kusunda - American History Information Guide and Reference It is sometimes classified as belonging to the Tibeto-Burman family, but several researchers consider it to be a language isolate. To many Nepalis, the Kusundas are stereotyped as barbaric cannibals, perhaps due to the Chepang's assumption that when a Kusunda come across a Chepang, the former had the intention of killing the latter. The Kusunda or Ban Raja (people of the forest) are a tribe of people ethnically related to the Chepang, but unlike the Chepang who dwell in mud houses, the few hundred Kusundas dwell in the forest. www.historymania.com /american_history/Kusunda   (519 words)
