Brill’s Studies in South and Southwest Asian Languages

ISSN 1877-4083

Brill’s Studies in South and Southwest Asian Languages (BSSAL) is a new
peer-reviewed series that provides a venue for high-quality
monograph-length descriptive and theoretical studies on the languages of
South and Southwest Asia. In the political sense, South Asia encompasses
the seven independent states Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives,
Nepal, Pakistan and Sri
Lanka, but linguistically and culturally it also includes some adjacent
areas to the east and north, notably Tibet. Southwest Asia is understood
here as comprising the Iranian language speaking territory to the west of
South Asia, i.e., the states of Afghanistan and Iran and the geocultural
transnational region Kurdistan, consisting of parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran
and Syria.

The languages - ancient and modern - of South and Southwest Asia have
played a central role in linguistics from the field’s very beginnings as a
modern scientific endeavor, and continue to occupy a central position in
discussions in many linguistic subdisciplines, such as phonology,
morphology, syntax, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, typology,
writing systems, and
areal studies, to name just a few. The series seeks high-quality,
state-of-the-art contributions on all aspects of the languages of this
linguistically diverse and fascinating area. It will be of interest to
general linguists, indologists, and specialists in Iranian studies.
