This work is the first comprehensive descriptive grammar of the Lare
dialect of Galo, a Tibeto-Burman language of the Tani branch spoken in
central Arunachal Pradesh State, in the North East Indian Himalaya. It is
based on primary data obtained from original fieldwork conducted by the
author in Galo towns and villages in Arunachal Pradesh over three years. In
addition to description of the synchronic phonology and grammar of Lare
Galo, it contains a historical overview and preliminary reconstruction of
Proto-Galo segmental phonology, in addition to a glossary of approximately
1,300 lexical roots with 4,000 lexical exemplars and three fully analyzed
texts.
