Description
Discover the prehistoric roots of three major Asian languages through comparative phonological analysis. This Cambridge University Press scholarly work applies proven sound law methods-the same techniques that revealed the deep history of European languages-to systematically explore the shared linguistic ancestry of Burmese, Chinese, and Tibetan. By tracing sound correspondences across these three languages, the book reconstructs the ancient parent language from which they descended, filling a significant gap in historical linguistics research. Essential reading for linguists, sinologists, and anyone interested in language evolution and the connections between major Asian language families.

Key Features

Reconstructs the prehistoric parent language using comparative phonological evidence from three major Asian languages.

Published by Cambridge University Press, a leading academic authority on historical and comparative linguistics research.

Reveals language relationships spanning thousands of years before written historical records, similar to European language studies.
