<br>
We are pleased to announce the first Summer School for Ancient Trans-Himalayan Languages (SSATH) that will take place on June 16th-28th, 2025 at the Centre for Asian Studies (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland). This unique international event will give students
of all levels of education an opportunity to study, together with experts, some of the oldest languages of the Trans-Himalayan family, for which written documentation exists: Old Tibetan, Tangut, Classical Newar, and Old Chinese. In addition, we will offer
<span class="grame">mini-workshops</span> on Classical Yi, Old Meitei, as well as Old Burmese. <br>
<br>
The Summer School will be a hybrid event, combining in-person classes with online participation. <br>
