“…Further work will involve the comparison of phonological features, as well as morphosyntactic ones, to determine whether or not, and to what extent, these different datasets result in different clusters amongst the languages compared (see Donohue 2014). It has been suggested (McConvell 2002(McConvell , 2008 that nominal morphosyntax and verbal morphosyntax show different patterns of diffusion, and reflect different kinds of contact scenarios, so a separation of nominal and verbal traits would both allow for a test on this hypothesis, and potentially greater insights into recent and ancient language contact scenarios in Nepal.…”
