On the place of Lepcha in Sino-Tibetan: a lexical comparison
This is very much a data-oriented study. After a brief outline of Lepcha phonology and a discussion of influences from other languages, I place Lepcha firmly as a member of Tibeto-Burman, despite lexical resemblances from such a distantly related language as Chinese or by borrowing from Austroasiati...

After a brief outline of Lepcha phonology and a discussion of influences from other languages, I place Lepcha firmly as a member of Tibeto-Burman, despite lexical resemblances from such a distantly related language as Chinese or by borrowing from Austroasiatic languages (like Khasi). Most of the Tibeto-Burman languages most similar in lexicon to Lepcha (like Adi) lie somewhat to the east. The exception is Tibetan itself which stretches east and west to the north. |
