The result is a sketch grammar, a dictionary with over 6000 entries, and a text collection. Rengao is a North Bahnaric language within the Austroasiatic phylum: it features a typologically unusual tense-lax phonological contrast whose origins remain obscure, and an extensive \"expressive\" lexicon of onomatopoeic, ideophonic, and phonaesthemic forms integrel to the rich Rengao oral culture. The work also includes substbatial commentary on grammaticalization, borrowing and etymology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Sidwell,Kenneth J.
