description |
Very little is known in any detail about the languages and cultures of the Eastern
Himalaya.1 There is a simple reason for this: very few people are conducting
anthropological or linguistic research there in any sort of sustained capacity.
Little serious ethnography has been produced, while much of what has been
produced has relied on secondhand accounts rather than on fieldwork.2
The
linguistic situation is in some ways even more dire. While data of some kind is
now available for the majority of Eastern Himalayan languages, most of the
relevant works are limited in quality and scope.3
This paucity of description is
pretty disheartening, considering the extraordinary research opportunities that
currently exist in the Eastern Himalaya. What little detailed work has been
carried-out is beginning to reveal a cultural-linguistic richness and complexity
which seems considerably greater than has been assumed (Blench and Post in
press; Post and Modi in press; Blench and Post MS-2011). |
