Bordering Tibetan Languages: Making and Marking Languages in
Transnational High Asia examines the complex interactions between
state, ethnic, and linguistic borders in the Himalayas. These case
studies from Bhutan, China, India, and Nepal show how people in the
Himalayas talk borders into existence, and also how those borders
speak to them and their identities. These 'talking borders' exist
in a world where state borders are contested, and which is being
irrevocably transformed by rapid social and economic change. This
book offers a new perspective on this dynamic region by centring
language, and in doing so, also offers new ways of thinking about
how borders and language influence each other.
