The Sino-Tibetan languages Kinnauri and Navakat and the Indo-Aryan language Kinnauri Pahari, all spoken in Kinnaur, are described both individually and as parts of a multifaceted linguistic ecology that extends into the surrounding wider Himalayan region.  The author combines traditional linguistic description and a quantitative computational procedure to disentangle genealogical and areal characteristics of the languages of Kinnaur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures and Tables  Notation, Terminology and Abbreviations    1 Introduction—Kinnaur: Geography, Demography and Languages   1 Introduction   2 The Geography of Kinnaur   3 Administrative Units in Kinnaur   4 Demography of Kinnaur   5 Number of KST Speakers   6 Some Questions to Be Addressed in This Work    2 A Linguistic Sketch of Kinnauri   1 Introduction   2 Phonology   3 Noun Phrase   4 The Verb Complex   5 Clauses and Sentences   Appendix 2A: Kinnauri Basic Vocabulary (by Anju Saxena and Santosh Negi)    3 A Linguistic Sketch of Navakat   1 Introduction   2 Phonology   3 Noun Phrase   4 The Verb Complex   5 Clauses and Sentences   Appendix 3A: Classical Tibetan Verb Stems and Their Correspondences in Navakat   Appendix 3B: Navakat Basic Vocabulary (by Anju Saxena and Padam Sagar)    4 A Linguistic Sketch of Kinnauri Pahari   1 Introduction   2 Phonology   3 Noun Phrase   4 The Verb Complex   5 Clauses and Sentences   Appendix 4A: Some Comparisons between Kinnauri Pahari and Other Pahari Languages   Appendix 4B: Kinnauri Pahari Basic Vocabulary (by Anju Saxena and Vikram Negi)    5 Linguistic Relationships in Kinnaur I: Sino-Tibetan   1 Introduction   2 Data Collection   3 Methodology   4 Towards Linguistically Informed Computational Lexicostatistics   5 Results: Vocabulary   6 Results: Grammatical Features   7 KST Varieties and Their Classification   Appendix 5A: Questionnaire Items and Vocabulary Comparison Tables    6 Linguistic Relationships in Kinnaur II: Language Contact between Sino-Tibetan and Indo-Aryan   1 Introduction   2 Language Contact in Kinnaur   3 Kinnauri and Kinnauri Pahari: Shared Linguistic Features   4 Summary    7 The Many-Faceted Linguistic Landscape of Kinnaur    References  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210841317719,"sku":"9789004512245","price":148.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-linguistic-landscape-of-the-indian-himalayas-languages-in-kinnaur-9789004512245","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
