Publications

The Brill series Languages of the Greater Himalayan Region (LGHR) is a series within Brill’s Tibetan Studies Library (BTSL). Languages of the Greater Himalayan Region continues a series by the same name in which two volumes were published by the School of Asian, African and Amerindian Studies (CNWS) of Leiden University, i.e. Dzongkha (the national language of Bhutan) and a grammar of Yamphu (a language of the upper Arun valley in eastern Nepal). Brill’s new series features the grammars of Rabha (a Brahmaputran language spoken on the plains skirting the western Meghalaya), Wambule and Jero (two languages spoken around the confluence of the Sunkosi and Dudhkosi rivers in eastern Nepal), Kulung (a language of the upper Dudhkosi basin) and Lepcha (spoken in Sikkim, Darjeeling district and an adjacent portion of Bhutan).
