A Break in the Carian Dam
Louis Robert in France, G. E. Bean from England, and Louis Deroy of Belgium have delivered the collective slap to the rear which has brought Carian to life. Carian is still a bungling infant whose utterances are far from clear. But it is at last alive, and begins to creep forward. It offers features which suggest an Indo-European parentage, but this remains to be made sure of

Words for "Printing Block" and the Origin of Printing
THE CONCLUSION THAT PRINTING originated in China has not seriously been questioned. The Orientalist, Berthold Laufer, concluded that Tibetan par block was derived from Chinese pana (Laufer's transcription).2 Laufer was no doubt influenced by the current idea that printing originated in China. But later research makes Laufer's conclusion quite impossible. First we must notice that Tibetan par is a modern form. Laufer remarked that Over the

Classification of the Sino-Tibetan Languages
East Himalayish
Brian h. hodgson's vocabulary of the 'Kirānti' contains a jumble of dialects, those in adjoining columns seldom being closely related to each other. But his vocabulary has the advantage that all the dialects listed by him belong to one Tibeto-Burmic group, which we may call East Himalayish

Athapaskan and Sino-Tibetan
Studies in the Morphology of Bodic Verbs
Verb roots remain constant in most Sino-Tibetan languages. But in; Burmese the consonantal initial of some verb roots alternates from an unaspirated surd in the intransitive to the corresponding aspirated surd in the transitive. And in some Tibeto-Burmic languages, particularly in the Himalayas, we find verbs with a sonant initial in the intransitive and a corresponding surd in the transitive. Diversity of form reaches the extreme in Old Bodish (…

The Pronunciation of Spanish Place Names in California
ATIVE Californians, whether of the socially elite or on the skid road, have considerable pride in their 'correct' pronunciation of Spanish place names. They are greatly amused by the difficulties Easterners have with these names upon their arrival here. On an average of three times a year for the last twenty years I have heard the story of the ignorant Easterners who call San Jose 'San Joe-zy' and Vallejo 'Valley Joe,' and it was already a thread…
Hruso
On the hills in the angle formed by Assam and Bhutan2live the Hruso, called by their neighbours Aka or Angha, a band of " bold and daring robbers and cut-throats " who exert great influence on the powerful and numerous clans of the Midzi tribe on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. The Hruso act as intermediaries for the Midzi in contacting the peoples of the valley of Assam
The Language of West Coast Culinary Workers
T N RECENT years, there has been little opportunity for good eating in the 1 overcrowded West Coast. One sits on a stool at the counter and is glad to get hamburger or hash. If a customer becomes disgusted with the service and leaves, the waitress is delighted. Ten chances to one, though, another customer will jump to get the place vacated. It was under these conditions that one night the writer heard a waitress shout 'Apple a la down,' and a lit…

Khimi Grammar and Vocabulary
Khami is one of the most important Sino-Tibetan languages because of the extensive data it presents regarding prefixes, preserved in so few groups of that linguistic family. The Khimi described here is a subdialect of the Southern dialect of the Khami language, Kukish group, Burmic division of Sino-Tibetan. Phonetically it differs from the more commonly recorded Southern dialect chiefly in the pronunciation of an original-a as -aw(as in Englishaw…

The Vocalism of Sino-Tibetan
IT MAY seem strange that the comparative philology of some of the African, American Indian, Indonesian, and other lesser groups of languages has been more or less satisfactorily accomplished, while the comparative grammar of Sino-Tibetan, which from the point of view of the number of speakers, culture and economic importance ranks second in the world, has hardly begun. A number of difficulties have stood in the way, difficulties to which referenc…
