Asia before English

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter describes the linguistic situation that existed in South Asia and Southeast Asia prior to the European colonial expansion and the gradual adoption of English as an important lingua franca in the region. Drawing on geographical, archaeological, historical, and linguistic evidence, our aims here are to establish how South Asia and Southeast Asia were first populated, to identify what languages were used by various ethnic groups inhabiting the region prior to the arrival of European traders and then missionaries in the sixteenth century, to recognize historical evidence of language contact in the modern‐day languages spoken in this region, and to summarize explanations for the types of borrowing and convergence that emerged in that contact. It is convenient to view the region prior to the arrival of European languages from three perspectives: South Asia, Mainland Southeast Asia, and Island Southeast Asia. After individually discussing the main drivers of cultural and linguistic influence in this Asian triptych, we conclude with a summation of the unifying historical, cultural, and environmental factors that have shaped their modern languages. We begin with South Asia, a source of significant cultural, linguistic, and religious influence in the region, then work our way eastward to Mainland Southeast Asia and beyond to the islands of the Indonesian Archipelago and the Philippines.
