And anything East of India probably counts as East Asian. India itself probably would count as South Central (stuff north of India but not much east nor west of it counts as Central, IIUC); but mostly people just call it "India" on the grounds that "it's a sub-continent". >However, I find myself mildly >handicapped by good resources discussing the development of Sanskrit >and Avestan from PIE. You mean the _lack_ of such resources, right? You should look at the "Resources" threads on the ZBB, the CBB, Sano's Scriptorium, and Vreleksa. I don't know if they have such resources listed there but it seems awfully likely, especially the ZBB's and CBB's. spinnoff.com/zbb and look for "resources" in the "L&L Museum" conlanger.com/cbb and look for "resources" >Can anyone recommend any books or, failing >that, web sites? I hope so. But at the moment, at least, I'm not one of the "anyone". >Cheers, >Carl >-- >Carl Edlund Anderson >http://www.carlaz.com/
