The lexicon and nominal morphology (both forms and functions) of the language support this classification. We argue that, based on evidence from tonal phonology and verbal morphology, that there is a conflicting signal in the data. Given the known ease with which lexical material can be borrowed, we argue that the evidence of the verbal agreement system, and the complicated (and contradictory) tone system should be taken as more indicative of the language’s origins. We suggest that the search for a single origin is not meaningful, and that the Tsum data strongly suggests that the phenomenon of the mixed language is more frequent than has been generally described, and that the Himalayas, with its long history of social mixing and blending, has a large concentration of such languages, many of which will prove to be the last reflections of since submerged linguistic ecologies that predate the dispersal and dominance of Tibeto-Burman and Indo-Aryan in the region, just as the modern isolates Kusunda and Burushaski more directly reflect such earlier language areas and genealogies.
