The phonology of Laze: phonemic analysis, syllabic inventory, and a short word list* Alexis Michaud (米锯锯 ) Guillaume Jacques ( 柏霖) Abstract: Laze is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in the county of Muli, in Sichuan, by a population of less than 1,000. The article proposes a synchronic account of Laze phonology, supplemented by a list of about 1,400 words in the Appendix. A phonemic analysis is proposed, with an inventory of syllables that brings to light the synchronic distributional properties of Laze onsets and rhymes C properties that are crucial to ongoing research into the historical phonology of the subgroup of Sino-Tibetan to which Laze belongs.

referred to in China as Muli Shuitian 木水话or Lare 拉热话), as spoken in Xiangjiao township, Muli prefecture, Sichuan, China (四 凉山 木 县项脚乡). Laze has fewer than

300 proficient speakers, and is little documented;

see Huang Bufan

2009 for an introduction to a neighbouring dialect. The first author of this article conducted fieldwork on Laze in

2008 and 2009. The article provides a synchronic analysis of Laze;

a Chinese-Laze word list is provided in the Appendix. A phonemic analysis is proposed, with a discussion of issues encountered in phonemicisation, and an inventory of syllables that brings to light the synchronic distributional properties of Laze onsets and rhymes C properties that are crucial to ongoing research into the historical phonology of the subgroup of Sino-Tibetan to which Laze belongs: see Jacques and Michaud 2011. The phonemic system of Laze is analysed here following the classical methods developed in the Prague school of phonology, as set out, for instance, by Martinet (1956,

1980 [1960]:61-82). * The Laze data were collected by Alexis Michaud in Muli in
