Personal Names in Asia: History, Culture, and Identity
- New
- Paperback
Paperback / softback. New. The world's population negotiates a multiplicity of naming systems. Some are compatible with the 'normative' system of the world of passports and identity cards but a great many are not. This volume classifies and theorizes the systems underlying naming practices in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia where systems are abundant and fluid.

Description:
Singapore: National University Of Singapore Press, 2010. First edition. Paperback. New. As any Asian visitor to or new resident of Western countries will soon discover, not only the pronunciation of Asian names will baffle their hosts but also fitting Asian naming systems into the 'normative' systems of passports and identity cards will cause problems. As this book explains, it is not surprising since Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, has some of the most sophisticated naming systems in the world. The collection of contributions in this book do not give an overall account of the various naming systems in the area but highlights examples from China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Taiwan. New Paperback. First Edition. 339 pages with a bibliography and an index. Weight: 0.7 kg Post free within Malaysia
