Kharia, spoken in central-eastern India, is a member of the southern branch of the Munda family, which forms the western branch of the Austro-Asiatic phylum, stretching from central India to Vietnam. The present study provides the most extensive description of Kharia to date and covers all major areas of the grammar. Of particular interest in the variety of Kharia described here, is that there is no evidence for assuming the existence of parts-of-speech, such as noun, adjective and verb. Rather functions such as reference, modification and predication are expressed by one of two syntactic structures, referred to here as 'syntagmas'. The volume will be of equal interest to general linguists from the fields of typology, linguistic theory, areal linguistics, Munda linguistics as well as South Asianists in general.

John M. Peterson, Ph.D. (1997) in Linguistics, University of Kiel, is a visiting professor of Linguistics at the University of Leipzig. He has published extensively on South Asian languages of both Munda and Indo-Aryan stock, including "Grammatical Relations in Pāli and the Emergence of Ergativity in Indo-Aryan".
