<div class="gmail_quote">Dear Colleagues, <br><br>I write to pass on the sad news that Nishida Tatsuo passed away on 26th September 2012. Nishida is easily the most productive and eminent Tibeto-Burmanist of the 20th century. Although primarily a scholar of Tangut, he made trail blazing contributions to Tibetan and Burmese linguistics, and did fieldwork on a number of minority languages of China and South East Asia. <br>
