Inhaltsangabe

An incredible source of information about the Chinese language and China’s minority languages

In this accessible and informative book, S. Robert Ramsey lucidly explains what the Chinese language is—its social and geographical situation, its history, its range of dialects, the structure of the modern standard language, and the writing system. He goes on to describe the languages of China’s national minorities, showing how they interrelate with each other and with Chinese. Readers learn about the peoples who speak the languages of China, what China is like linguistically, and the cultural and historical settings of the country’s languages. For those who want more linguistic detail, Ramsey provides lists, maps, charts, and descriptions along with technical references in notes at the end of the book. Invaluable to general linguists and Sinologists alike, The Languages of China is an excellent introduction to Chinese and East Asian linguistics.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The picture of China presented here is a study not just of one language but of many. Along with a description of what we in the West conventionally call 'Chinese, ' it also contains descriptions of the dozens of other languages spoken within China's international borders, the languages of the so-called national minorities.
