Book Synopsis From Ancient Cham to Modern Dialects by : Graham Thurgood
Book excerpt: Based on a reconstruction of ancient Chamic, with care taken to identify inherited Austronesian words as well as loan words and their sources, this text points out what the linguistic evidence tells us about the history of the region, and sketches the major consequences of historical contact on linguistic change in the history of Chamic.
