Just submitted my #habilitation entitled "Studies in East Asian Comparative #Linguistics" at the University of Potsdam. Many thanks to all that helped make this possible. #languages #langsky

Excited that the first study on the #languages of the Luren in Southwest China has been published in "Cahiers de Linguistique Asie Orientale".

We show that the Luren (now classified as #Manchu) formerly spoke two different languages, one #Sinitic and the other an isolate.
