Nathan Hill is Reader in Tibetan and Historical Linguistics and chair of the School of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.

'The depth and breadth of Hill's knowledge are impressive. The clarity of his explanations, the comprehensiveness of his data, the rigor of his methodological application, and the explicit exposition of his assumptions and conclusions make the book an invaluable addition to the field, both for experts and outsiders.'
