| description |
Kammu (Kmhmu’, Khmu’), an Austroasiatic language of northern Laos,
has borrowed extensively from Tai languages (Lao and Lü) for a long time. Many
loanwords retain phonological features lost in Tai languages, and it is shown that
the donor language for the first major layer of loanwords is more or less identical to
Proto-Southwestern Tai as reconstructed by Li (1977). In general, the Kammu data
support Li’s reconstruction, but also suggest some emendations. |
