| description | The Cun language is spoken on Hainan island and is closely related to, or is a member of, the Hlai language group of Kra-Dai stock (= Tai-Kadai). The early concise descriptions of the language (Fu 1983, Ouyang and Fu 1988) noted a number of interesting linguistic features so this more complete study is welcome. Ouyang's book now supplies us with the most comprehensive survey of Cun, including a list of 2,330 vocabulary items, which are especially useful for the comparative and historical studies of Hlai and related languages. The author of the book, Ouyang Jueya, is also a co-author of the monumental study of Hlai dia-lects Liyu Diaocha Baogao (Survey of the Hlai languages) published in 1983. |
