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.
