This PowerPoint presents results of a year-long doctoral level field-methods class held at UC Santa Barbara during the 2008-2009 academic year. The authors worked collaboratively to investigate the Dzala language as fully as possible, with the central participation of two speakers: Kunlek (Kunlay) Tshering and Dema Tshering, both residents of Santa Barbara a the time. The PowerPoint presents the segmental and tonal phonology and basic morphosyntax, with more extensive discussions of epistemic authority and optional ergativity.
