Basic data for this project
Type of project: Own resources project
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/10/2008 - 30/06/2009
Description
Surel and Sunwar are closely related, threatened Tibeto-Burman languages spoken in different regions of eastern Nepal. This project produces books and audio-CDs with Surel and Sunwar texts with introductions, glosses and translations into English and Nepali. The project provides both language communities with locally easily accessible material to study the languages. A comparative study of these languages, that historically were in close contact, will further our knowledge of the local linguistic and general history.
