Abstract:

Buyang is a Tai-Kadai (Kra-Dai) language, spoken by approximately 2,000people in Yunnan and northwestern Guangxi, forming two dialect groups. Inthis sketch the Paha dialect (of the western group) is described. Thisvolume is a much revised and reworked translation of materials by LiJinfang, originally published in Chinese in the late 1990s, which fills asorely felt gap in the descriptive sources available in English. Itspublication now is especially welcome as Buyang shows various morphologicalparallels with Austronesian, which as have been noted in recent discussionsabout the linguistic prehistory of SE Asia. Paha also possesses a number oflexical items and structural features that are shared by surroundingMiao-Yao, Mon-Khmer and Tibeto-Burman languages. The work includes aselection of texts and a substantial lexicon, in addition to thegrammatical sketch and detailed geographical and social information.
