Abstract:
A Tsum Lexicon is the first publication on the Tsum language. Tsum is the
language of the northern valley bearing the same name on the border between
Nepal and Tibet. The language is spoken by over 4,000 people and is heavily
endangered due to long-standing influence from Tibetan, and the more recent,
but potentially even stronger, impact from Nepalese language and culture. This
first lexicon contains over 2,400 words searchable via Tsum, English, and
semantic fields, and includes a list of basic vocabulary separately.
While there are many aspects of Tsum that are transparently attributable to a
close relationship with Tibetan, the question of linguistic affiliation has
not been examined in detail, though there are indications that a social
relationship with the non-Tibetan linguistic ecology to the south and west has
played a strong role in the history of Tsum (Donohue and Dhakal 2015),
suggesting an old, and nearly submerged, relationship shared with Kuke (the
language of Kutang, to the west of Tsum, past Chamar mountain), and (to a
lesser extent) the other languages of the Manaslu area, including Nubri and
(northern) Ghale.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation,
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only).
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
