ISBN10: 344710855X, ISBN13: 9783447108553, [publisher: Harrassowitz Verlag] Hardcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the first book on the Serbi-Mongolic language family - a major language family of Asia - and the first modern linguistic study of the Serbi (Xianbei ) peoples, whose conquest of North China took place at approximately the same time as the Germanic and Hunnic Völkerwanderung into the former Western Roman Empire.

Moreover, it is the first study to present linguistic sketches of Taghbach (Tuoba ), Tuyuhun ('Azha ), and Kitan (Qidan ), and to systematically compare Kitan and Mongol morphological and syntactic paradigms, resulting in the first reconstruction of Common Serbi-Mongolic phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax. Readers interested in Mongolia, the Mongols, North China, Central Eurasia, the Tibetan Empire, languages of Asia, historical linguistics, and history will f ...
