  • THE TONES of NUMERALS and NUMERAL-PLUS-CLASSIFIER PHRASES: on STRUCTURAL SIMILARITIES BETWEEN NAXI, NA and LAZE* Alexis Michaud LACITO-CNRS
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 34.1 — April 2011 THE TONES OF NUMERALS AND NUMERAL-PLUS-CLASSIFIER PHRASES: ON STRUCTURAL SIMILARITIES BETWEEN NAXI, NA AND LAZE* Alexis Michaud LACITO-CNRS Abstract: Numeral-plus-classifier phrases have relatively complex tone patterns in Naxi, Na (a.k.a. Mosuo) and Laze (a.k.a. Shuitian). These tone patterns have structural similarities across the three languages. Among the numerals from ‘1’ to ‘10’, three pairs emerge: ‘1’ and ‘2’ always have the same tonal behaviour; likewise, ‘4’ and ‘5’ share the same tone patterns, as do ‘6’ and ‘8’. Even those tone patterns that are irregular in view of the synchronic phonology of the languages at issue are no exception to the structural identity within these three pairs of numerals. These pairs also behave identically in numerals from ‘11’ to ‘99’ and above, e.g. ‘16’ and ‘18’ share the same tone pattern. In view of the paucity of irregular morphology—and indeed of morphological alternations in general—in these languages, these structural properties appear interesting for phylogenetic research. The identical behaviour of these pairs of numerals originates in morpho- phonological properties that they shared at least as early as the stage preceding the separation of Naxi, Na and Laze, referred to as the Proto-Naish stage. Although no reconstruction can be proposed as yet for these shared properties, it is argued that they provide a hint concerning the phylogenetic closeness of the three languages. Keywords: tone; numerals; classifiers; morpho-tonology; Naxi; Na; Mosuo; Laze; Muli Shuitian; Naish languages; phylogeny. 1.

  • 2007 Series Change Requests Report
    ISO 639-3 Change Requests Series 2007 Summary of Outcomes Joan Spanne (SIL International), ISO 639-3 Registrar, 15 January 2008 Summary of requested changes There were 258 requests considered, recommending 404 explicit changes in the code set. Ten of the requests are still pending. The 247 requests that have been decided have been fully approved, entailing 383 explicit changes in the code set. The 10 requests still pending will be reported in an addendum to this report. The 383 explicit changes can be analyzed as follows: • Retirements: 75 o 7 non-existent languages; o 3 duplicate languages (treated separately from merges of sub-varieties); o 41 merged languages; o 24 split languages, resulting in 71 new language code elements (net gain of 47). • Completely new languages: 59 newly created languages not previously associated with another language in the code set. • Updates: 178 o 151 name updates, either change to a name form or addition of a name form; o 20 denotation updates of languages into which other varieties were merged; o 3 macrolanguage group updates (one spread across two requests, as two updates); o 2 new macrolanguage groups (existing individual languages changed in scope to macrolanguages); o 1 change in language type (which will in the future be handled outside the formal review process, as this is non-normative, supplementary information).

  • Language Ecology in Tibetan Areas of Western Sichuan: Problems, Causes and Strategies Xiao-Qiong WANG1,A
    2021 International Conference on Education, Humanity and Language, Art (EHLA 2021) ISBN: 978-1-60595-137-9 Language Ecology in Tibetan Areas of Western Sichuan: Problems, Causes and Strategies Xiao-qiong WANG1,a 1Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing, China [email protected] Keywords: Language ecology, Tibetan areas, Western Sichuan. Abstract. The language ecology in western Sichuan is diverse and complex, and there are nearly 20 ethnic groups and 20 languages intermingled with each other. However, their unique linguistic individuality is often covered by the universal language and become "disadvantaged languages" in their own habitat. Many reasons, of which are mixed ethnic distribution, deficient education resource and economic transformation etc., have led to the loss of linguistic vitality of the ancient languages. Ethnic, bilingual and vocational education are necessary strategies to improve the ethnic language ecology. 1. Introduction Sichuan Tibetan area located at the South-eastern fringe of Qinghai-Tibet plateau, stands at the transitional and intersection zone between Qinghai-Tibet plateau and Sichuan Basin from which Yun’nan-Guizhou Plateau is accessible. It consists of Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Ngapa Tibetan and Qiang Prefecture and Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, which covers a vast area of 249,700 square kilometres and is approximately 51.49% of the total Sichuan territory. Diversity and complexity is the feature of Qinghai-Tibet plateau in terms of landform. Hengduan Mountains are characterized by deep alpine valleys from south to north which are steep and dangerous. And yet it bears the characteristics of both Qinghai-Tibet plateau and Hengduan Mountains. Its remote geographical location and closed geographical environment make the ancient national language and culture preserved sporadically.

  • The Lawu Languages
    The Lawu languages: footprints along the Red River valley corridor Andrew Hsiu ([email protected]) https://sites.google.com/site/msealangs/ Center for Research in Computational Linguistics (CRCL), Bangkok, Thailand Draft published on December 30, 2017; revised on January 8, 2018 Abstract In this paper, Lawu (Yang 2012) and Awu (Lu & Lu 2011) are shown to be two geographically disjunct but related languages in Yunnan, China forming a previously unidentified sub-branch of Loloish (Ngwi). Both languages are located along the southwestern banks of the Red River. Additionally, Lewu, an extinct language in Jingdong County, may be related to Lawu, but this is far from certain due to the limited data. The possible genetic position of the unclassified Alu language in Lüchun County is also discussed, and my preliminary analysis of the highly limited Alu data shows that it is likely not a Lawu language. The Lawu (alternatively Lawoid or Lawoish) branch cannot be classified within any other known branch or subgroup or Loloish, and is tentatively considered to be an independent branch of Loloish. Further research on Lawu languages and surrounding under-documented languages would be highly promising, especially on various unidentified languages of Jinping County, southern Yunnan. Table of contents Abstract 1. Introduction 2. Lawu 3. Awu 4. Lewu Yao: a possible relative of Lawu 5. Alu: a Lalo language rather than a Lawu language 6. Conclusions 7.

Lizu (Ersu) Katia Chirkova (CNRS-CRLAO) 1. Introduction Lizu is one of three closely related Tibeto-Burman languages spoken in Sìchuān 四川 省 Province in the People’s Republic of China: Ersu, Lizu, and Duoxu (see Map 1). The three languages are currently classified as dialects of one Ersu language (ISO-639 code ers). The Ersu language itself is classified as a member of the Qiangic subgroup of the Tibeto-Burman language family (e.g. Bradley 1997:36-37; Sun 2001). Map 1: Distribution of Ersu, Lizu, and Duoxu (Map by Franz Huber) The Lizu people refer to themselves as /lî-zû/ or /lŷ-zû/ ‘white people’. In Chinese, the group is variously known as Lǐrǔ 里汝, Lǚsū 吕苏, or Lìsū 傈苏 (Sun 1982; Huang and Renzeng 1991; Wang 2010; Wang 2012); in English, as Lizu or Lyuzu (Chirkova 2008; Ikeda 2009; Yu 2012).
