N2  - With its many and diverse languages, including some with very long documented histories, its great cultural diversity, and its widespread multilingualism - both the stable and transient kind - the Himalayan region is a treasure trove of empirical data for research on language typology and universals, historical linguistics, language contact and areal linguistics. Himalayan Languages contains an overview of Himalayan linguistics, synchronic studies of individual languages, and papers on the historical and areal linguistics of language families and languages in the region, contributed by some of the leading experts in the field
