sg-ntu-dr.10356-1780022024-06-05T08:37:15Z Review of "Jiǒngnàiyǔ Yánjiū A study of Jiongnai" Ratliff, Martha Arts and Humanities The appearance of this fine book on the Jiongnai language, a Hmongic (Miao) language of the Hmong-Mien (Miao-Yao) language family, is most welcome.

It is also quite conservative pho¬nologically, and thus important for historical studies. This is the first full-length study of the language, and both the wealth of information and the detailed comparative-historical analysis presented by the authors will be of enduring value.
