Abstract:

This monograph is a grammar of Thangmi, an endangered Tibeto-Burman 
language spoken in the districts of Dolakha and Sindhupalcok in central-eastern 
Nepal. The language is spoken by upwards of 30,000 people belonging to an 
ethnic group of the same name. The Thangmi are one of Nepal's least 
documented communities.

These two volumes include a grammatical description of the Dolakha dialect of 
Thangmi, a collection of glossed oral texts and a comprehensive lexicon with 
relevant examples. In addition, the reader will find an extensive ethnolinguistic 
introduction to the speakers and their culture.

For students and scholars of anthropology and linguistics, this study is a 
compelling illustration of the interweaving of these disciplines in the context of 
Himalayan studies.
