De Gruyter Mouton - A Grammar of Qiang (MGL 31) Reference Book

A Grammar of Qiang provides a comprehensive reference for studying one of the minority languages of southwest China. As part of the Mouton Grammar Library (MGL 31), this work offers a deep look into the Qiangic branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family. The text focuses on the Northern Qiang variety spoken in Ronghong Village, located in the Yadu Township of Mao County. This volume represents the first book-length description of the Qiang language written in English. It is a vital resource for linguists, researchers, and students interested in the languages spoken by the 70,000 Qiang and Tibetan people in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of northern Sichuan Province. The book includes annotated texts and a detailed glossary to assist with language study and linguistic analysis.
