This web site is still a
work in progress. The goal of the site is to make available information
on the languages and cultures of the Rawang, Dulong, and Anong peoples.
There are three parts to this site: the General Dialect Map, the
Feature Distribution Maps, and the comparative information. In the left
frame of the window, there are eight buttons for accessing general
information about the group as a whole, comparative information, and
other links, and two buttons for accessing the two types of map:
Introduction to the Rawang-Dulong-Anong Web Site
Linguistic Introduction
Ethnological Introduction
General Dialect Map
Images and Videos
Bibliography and Papers on Rawang-Dulong-Anong
Comparative Phonology
Comparative Glossaries
Comparative Grammar
Texts
Links to other sites about Tibeto-Burman Languages and Cultures
The General Dialect Map is for seeing the geographic distribution of the dialects, and for making information about each language/dialect on the map easily available. When you click on a particular name (in black) on the map (right now only Northern Dulongjiang is fully active), pop-up menus appear with the following items:
Ethnological Information
Phonemic Inventory
Outline Grammar
Texts
Photos
Unlike the links given in the left frame of the window, these links are specific to one particular language/dialect.
The Feature Distribution Maps, when they are completed, will give the geographic spread of various cultural or linguistic features that vary in the group, such as tone systems and other phonetic features, and relational marking.
