This highly accessible introduction explores the core systems and
subsystems of the languages of mainland Southeast Asia, applying
the main concepts of language typology, phonology, morphology,
syntax, sociolinguistics, language variation, and language contact,
to this diverse language area. Written by a leading expert in the
languages of this region, N. J. Enfield draws upon nearly a
thousand data examples from over a hundred languages from Cambodia,
China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam to show the
many ways in which these languages resemble each other, and differ
from each other, in the context of what is known globally about the
diversity of human language. The book highlights the diversity of
the area's languages, with a special emphasis on the minority
languages, which outnumber the national languages by nearly a
hundred to one. The result is a welcome corrective to widespread
beliefs about the nature of a 'typical' Southeast Asian language.
