We would like to express our gratitude for the support, encouragement and help which we received from Kanashi speakers. We especially remember with gratitude our oldest Kanashi language consultant, fondly referred to as Mr. Shukur Kardarji who sadly passed away at a much too early age for his enthusiasm for our project as well as for generously sharing his knowledge of Kanashi with us. A special note of thanks to Mrs. Suari Devi and her family for their warm welcome, and in particular to Mrs. Suari Devi for sharing her keen insights on Kanashi and for her patience during long data collection sessions, despite her busy schedule. We would also like to thank Ms. Anita, Mrs. Thakur Dasi, Mr. Inder Dev, Mr. Motiram, Mr. Ganga Ram, Ms. Purba, and other Kanashi speakers for their invaluable help and cooperation.

Thanks also to Ms. Santosh Negi, Dr. Prafulla Basumatay, Dr. Tashi Konchok, and Mr. Lalit Thakur (Chand View guest house in Malana) for their help in the field, as well as to the project assistants Armin Chiocchetti and Giada Falcone at Uppsala University.

We are also grateful to Stig Eliasson for his valuable comments on phonological issues (, and to Barbara Karlson (De Gruyter Mouton) and Charlotte Webster (Konvertus) for their support during the preparation of the camera-ready manuscript.
