| Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to make available a number of wordlists representing some of the languages and dialects of Southern Chin. They belong to what Shafer (1966) has called the Southern Kukish subgroup of Tibeto-Burman. Utilizing the Swadesh 100 wordlist (adapted for Southeast Asia) I attempt on the strength of lexical similarities
to show relationships among these languages and dialects I also give
lists of regular phonetic correspondences for consonants and vowels. Tone and/or register was not marked consistently in most of the lists, so I have not attempted to discuss it. |
