| description | A great many of the world's languages have never received serious phonetic study. This report concerns itself with one language, colloquially known as Sharchhop, on which no instrumental phonetic investigation has been conducted in the past. Sharchhop-kha, as it is also known, is spoken by about 140,000 citizens of Bhutan (Andvik 1993), a small nation in the Himalayas north of India. Its main variety is called Tshangla, a term which also refers to the central ethnic group of Sharchhop speakers. Tshangla is considered by some sources (e.g., "Bodish Languages" 1991-92) to be a distinct language rather than a dialect of Sharchhop. Either way, both are members of the Tshangla group as classified by Shafer (1955). The Tshangla group is a major division of the Bodish languages, all of which are grouped with the East Himalayan languages to form the Bodic sub-branch within the Himalayish branch of the Tibeto-Burman family. |
