Abstract:

Mainland Southeast Asia is one of the most fascinating and complex
cultural and linguistic areas in the world. This book provides a rich
and comprehensive survey of the history and core systems and
subsystems of the languages of this fascinating region. Drawing on his
depth of expertise in mainland Southeast Asia, Enfield includes more
than a thousand data examples from over a hundred languages from
Cambodia, China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam,
bringing together a wealth of data and analysis that has not
previously been available in one place. Chapters cover the many ways
in which these languages both resemble each other, and differ from
each other, and the diversity of the area's languages is highlighted,
with a special emphasis on minority languages, which outnumber the
national languages by nearly a hundred to one. The result is an
authoritative treatment of a fascinating and important linguistic
area.
