Pangkhua is an underdocumented and a largely endangered language spoken by about 2000 people in Rangamati District, Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh. In this overview, first, I examine Pangkhua’s position in the internal subclassifications of the South Central subgroup and show that its position in the subgroup is not as obvious as has often been regarded. Then, I discuss some of Pangkhua’s basic and typologically important characteristics including phonology, morphology, and syntax. As a first account of Pangkhua, this overview will facilitate areal-typological as well as historical and comparative South Central Tibeto-Burman linguistics research.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Trans-Himalayan (Tibeto-Burman), South-Central (Kuki-Chin), Phonology, Morphology, Grammar"}],"section":"Languages and Peoples of the Eastern Himalayan Region","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/58g4915h","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Mohammed","middle_name":"Zahid","last_name":"Akter","name_suffix":"","institution":"Wenzhou-Kean University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2022-09-28T23:23:14Z","date_accepted":"2022-09-28T23:23:14Z","date_published":"2024-08-20T07:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/himalayanlinguistics/article/35187/galley/26193/download/"}]}
