Book information
Description
Himalayan Linguistics, Vol. 10(1), 2011. - p. 187–225. - ISSN 1544-7502The main objectives of this sociolinguistic study were to: Identify the areas of Baram settlement; Gather information about Baram speakers; Collect details about various sociolinguistic aspects of the language such as the language name, language variation, knowledge and use of the language, language attitudes, vitality and maintenance, and the level of language endangerment.Van Driem (2003) claims that Baram, Thami, and Newar together make up a group within the Mahakiranti branch of Tibeto-Burman. Turin (2006) follows van Driem’s 1998 classification; he maintains that Baram, Thami, and Dolakha Newar are linguistically close and constitute a genetic sub-group under the Mahakiranti group of Tibeto-Burman. In contrast, Noonan (2008) places Thangmi and Baram together under the Central Himalayish branch of Bodic.
