Volume 7 in the STEDT Monograph Series presents A Descriptive Grammar of Daai Chin, Helga So-HartmannÕs 2008 doctoral dissertation (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London). This is the most detailed and sophisticated grammar of a Chin language to have appeared since EugŽnie J.A. HendersonÕs classic (1965) study of Tiddim (Northern Chin group). The Daai language is an important member of the Southern Chin group, with about 45,000 speakers. Chin State is in western Myanmar, and the Daai Chin people live in the interior of the Southern Chin Hills in about 160 villages spread out over the four townships Mindat, Kanpetlet, Paletwa and Matupi.
