勒尼——一种未知的古代藏缅语

Le di, An Unknown Tibeto Burman Language by Nie

１２世纪末期的西夏存在过一种至今不为人知的“勒尼语”。这种语言与现代藏缅语族的珞巴语和语有些相似，而不同于人们通常说的“番语”（西夏语）。勒尼语的详情和讲这种语言的民族的面貌目前还难以考定，由此可以引发有关语言学。

Abstract In the end of the 12th century there existed a 'Leni language' that is still unknown up till now. The language is similar to the Luoba and Deng speeches of the modern Tibetan Burmese language group in some ways, but different from what we have called 'Fanyu'(Hsi Hsia language). Its details and the features of its speaking people are difficult to examine at present, which therefore brings about a series of thinking about linguistics, history and nationalities concerned.
