query: checked/entering tone

[Seino van Breugel]

Dear Kristine,

Atong and Garo (both Tibeto-Burman) have glottallized syllables that
correspond to high-tone syllables in closely related languages e.g. Rabha
and Tiwa, if I am not mistaken. Robbins Burling has published a
multilingual comparison which talks about this a few years ago. I don't
have the reference at hand unfortunately. Maybe someone else can help here.

For a Garo grammar see: Burling, Robbins. 2004. The Language of the Modhpur
Mandi (Garo). Vol I: Grammar. New Delhi: Bibliophile South Asian in
association with Promilla & Co., Publishers.

For Atong see: van Breugel, Seino. 2009. A grammar of Atong. PhD thesis.
Melbourne: La Trobe University. Or download from

Best wishes,

Seino
