The Kham language is spoken in the Dhaulagiri and Rapti zones of West Nepal!>. In 1970 this language was investigated by David and Nancy Watters, and their Kham-English Glossary, which appeared in 19732>, particularly, was of great interest to me. Their field work on this language was a very important contribution to Tibeto­ Burman linguistic studies. As they say in their Glossary, "According to Swadesh list comparisons, Kham is not closely related to any ofthe Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal in terms of vocabulary. It is about 25% cognate with the Magar and Gurung groups, slightly below 25% with the Tibetan group, and about 15°/<> with the Rai and Limbu groups" (p. vi). It seems the origin of the remaining 35% is obscure. What impressed me most was the inclusion of Lolo-Burmese words in the Glossary. Recently Kham has been studied in its syntactic constructions, especially the ergative system, and interesting findings have been published-contributing in an important way to studies on ergative systems in genera13>. At the same time, its morphological structure and word formation also show interesting features. In this paper I should like to discuss briefly some aspects of morphology and Tatsuo NISHIDA (ggE8ftbt): Professor, Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Letters, Kyoto University.

Guillaume Jacques∗ A reconstruction of Proto-Kiranti verb roots Abstract: In Kiranti languages, rich alternations in verbal paradigms make internal reconstruction possible, and allow a better understanding of the vowels and codas of the proto-language than is possible for other parts of speech. This paper, using data from four representative languages (Wambule, Khaling, Bantawa, Limbu), proposes a new approach to Proto- Kiranti historical linguistics combining the comparative method and internal reconstruction, and taking morphological alternations and analogy into ac- count. It presents a comprehensive account of the sound correspondences between the four target languages and reconstructs more than 280 proto- Kiranti verb roots. Keywords: Kiranti, Khaling, Wambule, Limbu, Bantawa, Sound change, Analogy 1 Introduction The reconstruction of Proto-Kiranti has already been the topic of much detailed research, in particular Starostin (1994-2000), Michailovsky (1994), Opgenort (2005) and Michailovsky (2010).

  • A Preliminary Analysis of Chintang Ritual Language in the Invocation of Rajdeu
    Worshiping the King God: A Preliminary Analysis of Chintang Ritual Language in the Invocation of Rajdeu Martin Gaenszle1, Balthasar Bickel1, Goma Banjade2, Elena Lieven3, Netra Paudyal2, Ichchha Rai2, Manoj Rai2, Novel Kishor Rai2, Sabine Stoll3 1University of Leipzig 2Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu 3Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig The deity Rājdeu (or Rājdeo < N. rājā ‘king’ + deva ‘god’) or Haŋ (C. haŋ ‘king, chief’) is of great importance among the Chintang (Chintaŋ) speakers of Chintang VDC in east Nepal. Before major rituals, especially Nuwagi, this god is worshiped (together with Pomnari) with offerings in front of the house. The ritual is short and simple, yet what makes it particularly interesting is the fact that a distinct ritual language is used, chanted in high speed invocation. A good deal of the lexical material of this language (or register) consists of Nepali words and morphemes, and there is continuous code- switching between ritual and ordinary language. The language as a whole displays the unique features of the mundum oral tradition of the Kiranti, which is marked by a combination of ritual nouns and ordinary language verbal forms (Allen 1978, Gaenszle 2002). The present article is a preliminary exploration of ritual language among the Chintang, and Rajdeu’s rite seems to be a suitable starting point. In spite of its shortness, it gives an insight into the functioning and structure of ritual speech — and tells us a few things about the enigmatic figure of the “King God”. The Chintang are a group of Kiranti usually regarded as a Rai subtribe. They number about 6.000 speakers but are found only in one village district, Chintang VDC in Dhankuta District, Koshi Zone.
