I am studying the Tibeto-Burman languages of South and Southeast Asia, with particular interest in the Luish language group spoken in India, Bangladesh, and Burma. The Luish group includes a dead language called Chakpa. Although Chakpa materials are limited, it is possible to analyse them in more detail by comparing them with other living Luish languages such as Cak, Kadu and Ganan. In this project, I will first investigate unwritten varieties of the Luish languages and then try to reconstruct the grammar and vocabulary of the Chakpa language.
