Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history, culture, and language of the Lepchas, an ancient and little-known people living in the Himalayan region. The author, an authority on this indigenous group, provides a comprehensive view of their traditions, origin, and challenges faced by the Lepchas in the face of external influences that threaten their cultural survival. The book details the Lepchas' unique language and its remarkable grammatical structure and vocabulary, suggesting that it may be the oldest language in the world. It also examines the Lepchas' religious beliefs, daily life, and the threats facing their way of life posed by the influx of modern development and globalization. Moving beyond a mere description of Lepcha culture, the book also includes a discussion on the broader context of language preservation and the importance of safeguarding the diversity of human linguistic heritage. Through this discussion, the author illuminates the value of indigenous language preservation for the understanding of human history and identity, making this book a vital and thought-provoking read for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the preservation of endangered cultures and languages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
