Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The aim of the class is to make students acquainted with Tocharian texts, with the use of secondary literature, and with basic problems and questions of Tocharian philology. Since many questions of Tocharian grammar are still open to discussion, any linguistic research in this branch must be based in philology.
Examination topics
Lecture with handouts, reference to further literature; text reading in class.

The Tocharian branch of Indo-European was discovered during the Turfan expeditions at the end of the 19th century. The texts that survived contain almost exclusively Buddhist literature. The class will give an overview of the problems of Tocharian philology; in addition we will read a simply text.
