Even though Thao is virtually on the verge of extinction, very little work has been done on the language. Ogawa and Asai (1935:4) only mentioned about it in their monumental work, but made no field study of it. Abe (1930:430-35), Alvarez (1915-24), Bullock (1874-5), Collingwood (1868), and Steere (1874) have only short lists of vocabulary. The best study of the language to date is Fang Kuei Li et al's (1956:23-51) ''Notes on the Thao Language,'' which gives a brief description of the phonology and morphology. |
