Abstract
This study performs primary data collection, transcription and cognate coding for 8 South West Tibetic languages (Lowa, Gyalsumdo, Nubri, Tsum, Yohlmo, Kagate, Jirel, and Sherpa). This includes partial cognate coding, which analyses linguistic relations at the morpheme level. Prior resources and inferences are leveraged to conduct a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis. This helps estimate the extent to which the historical relationships between the languages represent a tree-like structure. We argue that small-scale projects like this are critical to wider attempts to reconstruct the cultural evolutionary history of Sino-Tibetan and other families.
