Lamkang Lexical Database and Online Dictionary (LMK)

南康语是印度曼尼普尔邦使用的大约30种藏缅少数民族语言之一。南康语和所有与南康语关系最密切的语言都因异族通婚而濒临灭绝，这阻碍了语言的代际传承。 该项目将创建一个可免费下载的南港词汇数据库和在线词典，除了对使用者有明显的好处（例如，正字法的标准化）外，还将有助于语言学界更好地了解南港在其地域背景中的位置，其遗传关系及其类型学联系。例如，与其他东北印度藏缅语相比，南康语的形态复杂性是惊人的，这些语言往往具有平均形态复杂性。虽然相关的语言有后缀或前缀的协议标记，南康结合前缀和后缀的协议形态。南港语在形态发展方面显然有一个有趣的故事。

Lamkang is one of approximately 30 Tibeto-Burman minority languages spoken in Manipur State, India. Lamkang and all of the languages most closely related to it are endangered due to intermarriage which prevents inter-generational transmission. This project will create a free downloadable lexical database and online dictionary of Lamkang which, in addition to its obvious benefits to speakers (for example, standardization of orthography), will be useful to the linguistic community in fostering a better understanding of the position of Lamkang in its areal context, its genetic relationships, and its typological connections. For example, the morphological complexity of Lamkang is striking when compared to other Northeast Indian Tibeto-Burman languages which tend to be of average morphological complexity. While related languages have either suffixal or prefixal agreement markers, Lamkang combines prefixal and suffixal agreement morphologies. The Lamkang language clearly has an interesting story to tell in terms of its morphological development.
