 | | Despite the ingenuity of Karlgren's successors in patching up this or that aspect of his reconstructions -- or perhaps because of this very ingenuity -- Chinese historical phonology has until recently been in danger of degenerating into a kind of scholasticism: endless reinterpretations of the same data. | | | Extensive lexical and grammatical material has been collected on a dozen languages of the Qiangic group (Lu Shaozun 1980; Sun 1981, 1985, 1990). | | | More detailed comparative-historical work has been done on Loloish than on any other branch of TB (Bradley 1978; Burling 1967; Hansson 1989; Matisoff 1968, 1970, 1972a, 1973, 1974, 1978, 1979, 1991; Nishida 1966/67; Thurgood 1981; Wheatley 1973). |

| | The writing system of Tibetan is incredibly conservative, to the point that a written word would sound nothing like the spoken word. | | | However, there is really no way to ameliorate this situation since there are thousands of mutually unintelligible Tibetan dialects, all of which use the same writing system. | | | The earliest Tibetan inscriptions date from 7th to 8th century CE in what is called the dbu can (which translates into "with a head") script, which also appeared on manuscripts from around 11th CE and remained until the modern day in the form of printed Tibetan text. |
