再论仫佬族族称、族源及其与周边民族的关系

A RESTUDY ON THE ETHNIC NAME,ORIGIN OF THE MULAM AND ITS RELATIONS WITH OTHER LOCAL ETHNIC GROUPS

当前,国内学术界对我国南方壮侗语族侗水语支民族之一的仫佬族族称、族源和民族关系的认识仍然存在较大分歧。本文从历史学、民族学和语言学等学科角度重新论证和探讨上述问题,并提出一些新的观点。

Presently,the academic viewpoints on the name,its origin and relations with other local ethnic groups of the Mulam,one of the ethnic groups of the Dong-Shui linguistic branch,Zhuang-Dong linguistic family in Southern China,varies substantially. This paper restudies and further approaches the above issues in the broader disciplinary perspectives of ethno-history,ethnology and linguistics and puts forward some important fresh viewpoints.
