The Languages of the Andes (Cambridge Language Surveys)

The Andean and Pacific regions of South America are home to a remarkable variety of languages and language families, with a range of typological differences. The Languages of the Andes is the first book in English to document in a single volume the indigenous languages of this region, as well as in adjacent areas. The authors provide both historical and contemporary information, illustrated with detailed grammatical sketches. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be a valuable source for students and scholars of linguistics and anthropology alike.
