Abstract:

Not only is May otherwise undescribed in writing, it is the only small Vietic
language documented and analysed in such detail, and one of few endangered
Austroasiatic languages described so thoroughly. May is predominantly
monosyllabic, yet retains traces of affixes and consonant clusters that
reflect older disyllabic forms. It is tonal, and also manifests breathy
phonation and vowel ongliding, yeilding a remarkable complexity of syllable
types. The lexicon, which is extensively documented, has a substantial achaic
component. Consequently, the volume provides an invaluable resource for
comparative historical and typological studies.

This book is an English translation of the 2018 Russian language monograph by
Babaev and Samarina.
