Description
“Nam: An Ancient Language of the Sino-Tibetan Borderland” by F.W. Thomas is a scholarly work exploring a lesser-known language from the Sino-Tibetan frontier. The book includes original texts, an introduction, vocabulary, and linguistic analysis. Thomas examines the structure, phonetics, and grammar of the Nam language, placing it in the context of the broader Sino-Tibetan family. His research contributes significantly to the understanding of linguistic diversity in the region and early efforts in comparative philology and ethnolinguistic documentation during the 19th century.
