A grammar of Mangghuer
a Mongolic language of China's Qinghai-Gansu Sprachbund
by Keith W. Slater
"Mangghuer is a Mongolic language spoken by approximately 35,000 people in China's northwestern Qinghai Province. No grammar of Mangghuer has ever been published in any language. This book is a systematic, typologically-oriented grammatical description, based primarily on narrative text data. Historical discussions emphasize the extensive effects of language contact on Mangghuer, which has been heavily influenced by neighboring Chinese and Tibetan languages." "The book's primary importance is as a typologically-oriented grammatical description of a little-known language. It also makes a significant contribution to comparative Mongolic studies and to the characterization of language contact processes in the Qinghai-Gansu Sprachbund."--BOOK JACKET.
