- This is “an important book, reflecting the years Hill has spent applying classical comparative method techniques to a family where this has proven difficult" (Phonology 37, 2020, 499-500). Originally conceptualized within a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship, the volume culminates over a decade of research; it “synthesises and systematises a wide range of research” (p. 495) written in English, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Burmese from the 19th century until 2018. The author learned Burmese, both Old and Modern, precisely to undertake this project. The works constitutes a “unique contribution” (Concentric 46.2, 2020, p. 299) to Sino-Tibetan linguistics.
