Atong Texts by Seino van Breugel consists of a collection of 37
glossed, annotated and translated narratives in the Atong language
(Tibeto-Burman) of Meghalaya, India, presented in phonemic standard
orthography. This testimony of cultural and linguistic heritage of
the Atongs, who are members of the Garo Tribe, complements the
author's Grammar of Atong, also published by Brill. Each text is
preceded by a systematic literary analysis. The photos in the
appendix provide a visual impression of the environment in which
the stories are told. This book is of great value to
Tibeto-Burmanists, general linguists, discourse analysts and
everyone interested in the languages, history and folklore of
Northeast-India in general, and Meghalaya in particular.
