| Zusammenfassung: | Tangam is a critically endangered Trans-Himalayan (Tibeto-Burman) language spoken by around 150 hilltribespeople in the far Eastern Himalaya. A member of the Tani subgroup of Trans-Himalayan, Tangam is mutually-unintelligible with other languages of this otherwise relatively homogeneous subgroup. This is demonstrated to be a consequence of Tangam's early-branching status within the Western Tani subgroup, subsequent contact with Eastern Tani languages, and historical relationship with speakers of Bodic languages.0Based on three field trips to the Tangam-speaking area over two years, this work presents a brief but comprehensive cultural, historical and grammatical introduction to the Tangam language, together with a trilingual lexicon in Tangam, English and Minyong, and a collection of fully-analysed texts. It will be of interest to linguists and anthropologists of the Himalayan region, as well as to historical linguists and language typologists |

Tangam is a critically endangered TransHimalayan (Tibeto-Burman) language spoken by around 150 hill-tribespeople in the far Eastern Himalaya. A member of the Tani sub group of Trans-Himalayan, Tangam is mutually-uninteffigible with other languages of dits otherwise relatively homogeneous subgroup. This is demonstrated to be a consequence of Tangam’s early-branching status within the Western Tani subgroup, subsequent contact with Eastern Tani languages, and historical relationship with speakers of Bodic languages. Based on three field trips to the Tangam-speaking area over two years, this work presents a brief but comprehensive cultural, historical and grammatical introduction to the Tangam language, together with a trilingual lexicon in Tangam, English and Mmyong. and a collection of fiilly-analysed texts. It will be of interest to linguists and anthropologists of the Himalayan region, as well as to historical linguists and lan guage typologiets.
