Abstract:
Japhug is a vulnerable Gyalrongic language, which belongs to the
Trans-Himalayan (Sino-Tibetan) family. It is spoken by several thousand
speakers in Mbarkham county, Rngaba district, Sichuan province, China. This
grammar is the result of nearly 20 years of fieldwork on one variety of
Japhug, based on a corpus of narratives and conversations, a large part of
which is available from the Pangloss Collection. It covers the whole grammar
of the language, and the text examples provide a unique insight into Gyalrong
culture. It was written with a general linguistics audience in mind, and
should prove useful not only to specialists of Trans-Himalayan historical
linguistics and typologists, but also to anthropologists doing research in
Gyalrong areas. It is also hoped that some readers will use it to learn Japhug
and pursue research on this fascinating language in the future.
