Description
0. PURPOSE OF THE PAPER This article deals with Shan and Northern Thai ethnonymy. My approach consists in enumerating the various etymologies proposed, and in selecting the most likely ones by applying a method combining (1) a study of the (generally ancient) interethnic relations in Southeast Asia and (2) the data obtained by diachronic and areal linguistics.
