Abstract | This paper introduces the tonal system of the amagaun dialect of Nubri. We first present an
introduction to linguistic tone, with a focus on tone as it is found in Tibetan languages, before
moving on to describe the tones in Samagaun Nubri monosyllables and disyllabic expressions.
We conclude that the tonal system in Nubri cannot be accounted for by exclusive reference to Tibetan
languages. The implication is that contact with a non-Tibetan language has played a significant
role in the history of the language. |
