It details the sound patterns (phonology), syntax, and morphology, providing a scientific reference manual for university students and researchers.
Drawing on the author’s postgraduate training in applied linguistics at the University of Reading and decades of fieldwork, the book describes the Mising vowel and consonant systems, syllable structure, and the grammatical rules that govern word formation and sentence construction.
