No Munda-speaker can ever hope to read the 783-page tome blurbed as an unprecedented work. Unprecedented, maybe; but pricy certainly. namaskaram. kalyan The Munda Languages. Edited by Gregory D. S.

ZideThe Munda group of languages of the Austroasiatic family are spoken within central and eastern India by almost ten million people. To date, they are the least well-known and least documented languages of the Indian subcontinent. This unprecedented and original work draws together a distinguished group of international experts in the field of Munda language research and presents current assessments of a wide range of typological and comparative-historical issues, providing agendas for future research. Representing the current state of Munda Linguistics, this volume provides detailed descriptions of almost all of the languages in the family, in addition to a brief chapter discussing the enigmatic Nihali language. Gregory D.S. Anderson is Director of the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages. His key publications include: The Munda Verb: Typological Perspectives (2007), Auxiliary Verb Constructions (2006), and Language Contact in South Central Siberia (2005). http://tinyurl.com/4hspnv http://www.livingtongues.org/aboutus.html -- Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand.~:~ Mother Theresa ~:~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
