Abstract:

Despite the fact that Miao-Yao (or Hmong-Mien) is one of the major language
families of East and Southeast Asia, this work is only the second full-length
descriptive grammar of any Miao-Yao language published in English. It focuses
on Xong, a language belonging to the Miao branch of the family. Xong has
approximately 900,000 speakers, the vast majority lives in Hunan and Guizhou
Provinces in South-Central China. In particular, this description concentrates
on several fully mutually intelligible Xong varieties spoken in Fenghuang
County, located in the Hunan Province. In producing this work, the author
primarily relies on the fieldwork data he collected over a period of ten
months in Fenghuang County. He also made use of many of the previously
published Chinese-language descriptions of Xong. The results are of use to
scholars with an interest in the Miao-Yao family in particular or in the
languages of East and Southeast Asia more in general.
