Product Description

This new grammar of Limbu details the structure of the conservative Phedap dialect of the language based on the author’s sojourns with the Payyangu family of Tamphula village in the early 198os. This augmented and enhanced edition expands upon the original Mouton de Gruyter edition, published in West Berlin in 1987, and includes new historical material on the Limbu people and Kiranti script as well an appendix on the verbal agreement system of Chulu, a closely related and largely undocumented Kiranti language. This improved Nepali edition of the Limbu grammar by Jagadamba Prakasan at Lalitpur was supported by a subvention from the Embassy of Switzerland to Nepal.
