The volume goes a good way towards remedying the lack of available grammatical descriptions for Tai-Kadai. With consultations and input from a range of contributors, the book is a compact 40,000-word overview of Thai. The work includes relevant cross-referencing to sections of the volume treating other languages in the family, as well as sign-posting to sources in the bibliography.

With close to 100 million speakers, Tai-Kadai constitutes one of the world''s major language families. The Tai-Kadai Languages provides a unique, comprehensive, single-volume tome covering much needed grammatical descriptions in the area.

It presents an important overview of Thai that includes extensive cross-referencing to other sections of the volume and sign-posting to sources in the bibliography. The volume also includes much new material on Lao and other Tai-Kadai languages, several of which are described here for the first time.

Much-needed and highly useful, The Tai-Kadai Languages is a key work for professionals and students in linguistics, as well as anthropologists and area studies specialists.
