Title: | Morphological Evidence for a Central Branch of Trans-Himalayan (Sino-Tibetan) | Contributor(s): | Delancey, Scott (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | DOI: | 10.1163/19606028-00442p02 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/20614 | Abstract: | The verb agreement systems of Jinghpaw, Meyor, Northern Naga, and Northeast, Northwest and Southern Kuki-Chin contain material which is demonstrably inherited from Proto-Trans-Himalayan. Here we discuss morphological evidence that these systems share a common ancestor more recent than PTH. There is strong evidence connecting Jinghpaw with both Northern Naga and Kuki-Chin, and weaker evidence directly linking Northern Naga and Kuki-Chin, and both of these with Meyor. This is evidence that all of these languages belong to a single branch of the family, an idea which has been suggested in the past but never argued for. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Cahiers de Linguistique Asie Orientale, 44(2), p. 122-149 | Publisher: | Brill | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1960-6028 0153-3320 |
