Abstract:

This is the first in-depth study of the extinct Koguryo language, which was
once spoken in Manchuria and northern Korea. It covers the ethnolinguistic
history of the Koguryo nation, philological treatment of the sources for
the language, Koguryo phonology, and a complete glossary of all Archaic
Koguryo and Old Koguryo words. Special attention has been given to the
theory and practice of lexically-based historical-comparative linguistics.
The genetic relationship of Koguryo to Japanese is shown to be secure,
unlike the non-relationship of either language to Korean or 'Altaic', and
much light is shed on the ethnolinguistic origins of Japanese. The special
phonological features of the underlying transcriptional language, the
archaic northeastern Middle Chinese dialect once spoken in Korea, are also
analyzed. 

Readership: Researchers and scholars in Japanese, Korean, Chinese,
historical linguistics, or in comparative linguistics of East Asia and
Central Eurasia. 

Keywords: Japanese, Korean, Chinese, history, linguistics, medieval, East
Asia, Central Eurasia, Manchuria
