<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">LTBA</FONT><I><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"></FONT></I> <FONT FACE="Times New Roman">is devoted to the synchronic and diachronic study of the languages of the Southeast Asian linguistic area, especially the vast and ramified Tibeto-Burman family, the only proven relatives of Chinese. In addition to Tibeto-Burman, articles have appeared on all the major language families of mainland Southeast Asia, notably a monograph on the Waic branch of Mon-Khmer (Vol. 5.2), a special issue containing fourteen articles on Hmong-Mien (Vol. 10.2), and two volumes on Lai Chin (Vols. 20.2 and 21.1). LTBA was founded in 1974, and has been in continuous publication ever since, attracting contributions from many of the leading scholars in the field.
