What reading level is From Tonkin to India By the Sources of the Irawadi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is probable that the first syllable, Kha, is identical with the name by which the Laotians describe the hill tribes of Indo-China Kha would mean a sort of domestic slave.
Finally, the Thibetans speak of the Loutses as Ngias (imbeciles).
The Loutse language differs entirely from the Lissou, and con- tains but few Thibetan words. Its construction, too, is dissimilar.
The Loutses relate their own origin thus : — There lived for- merly on P^machou (a mountain which we afterwards saw on reaching ...the Kiou-kiang) a man and his wife who had nine sons, each of whom in their turn married. One became king of Thibet, and another king of Pekin. Then these two asked their seven brothers for money. The latter refused, and proposed to make war on them. But the mother interceded, saying, ** I am the mother of you all. Do not quarrel ; you seven ought to give each a little to the two who are kings." Her counsel prevailed; and that is how the seven, who peopled the district of the Loutse-kiang and became the Loutses, came to render tribute to China.
