With close to 100 million speakers, Tai-Kadai constitutes one of
the world's major language families. The Tai-Kadai Languages
provides a unique, comprehensive, single-volume tome covering much
needed grammatical descriptions in the area.
It presents an important overview of Thai that includes
extensive cross-referencing to other sections of the volume and
sign-posting to sources in the bibliography. The volume also
includes much new material on Lao and other Tai-Kadai languages,
several of which are described here for the first time.
Much-needed and highly useful, The Tai-Kadai Languages is a key
work for professionals and students in linguistics, as well as
anthropologists and area studies specialists.
