| description |
Among the fourteen or so extant branches of the Mon-Khmer
family, only three or four have developed preserved enough differentiation today to yield proto-branch reconstructions of great antiquity. They are: The Bahnaric, the Aslian, the Palaungic and probably the Viet-Muong branches. It is mostly from these reconstructions that we will be able some day to cast a glance at Proto-Mon-Khmer and beyond. The Katuic, Khmuic and Nicobarese branches, while extremely useful, do not appear to be as diversified as the first four. Monic and Khmeric, in spite of their written records and resulting prestige, ironically rank even lower in this respect. |
