Although most scholars now generally agree that the Serbi (Hsien-pei or Xianbei) languages, including Kitan or 'Khitan' (Ch'i-tan or Qidan) and Taghbach or 'Tabghatch' (T'o-pa or Tuoba), are divergently related to Mongolic, up until now their Mongolic affinity has only been hinted at-no rigorous, systematic attempt has been made to present a precise, testable, and potentially falsifiable theory based on the standard historical-comparative linguistic criteria for language classification. I demonstrate in this dissertation that Kitan, Taghbach, and 'Azha-the best attested Serbi languages-are related to Mongolic, but descend not from Proto-Mongolic, but from Proto-Serbi, and that both Proto-Mongolic and Proto-Serbi descend from a common ancestor, Proto-Serbi-Mongolic. For early languages which have been extensively studied by historical linguists, general grammatical sketches are usually not a prerequisite to a historical-comparative linguistic study involving data from such languages, but very few general linguists have studied the Serbi languages. To date, with few exceptions, Taghbach, Kitan, and 'Azha have mostly been studied by philologists and historians who have not been particularly interested in describing their lexicons, phonologies, and grammatical structures in such a way as to compare them with other languages at both synchronic and diachronic levels. This preliminary work is necessary before demonstrating their divergent relationship with Mongolic. This dissertation thus presents brief sketches of as much as can be gleaned of the linguistic structures of Taghbach, 'Azha, and Kitan. Since most of these languages are primarily known from Chinese and Old Tibetan transcriptions, I first provide phonological accounts of the transcriptional languages-frontier varieties of Old Chinese, Middle Chinese, Old Mandarin, and Old Tibetan. The linguistic approach to Serbi data in this dissertation has also allowed for a preliminary reconstruction of Proto-Serbi-Mongolic, identification of ethnolinguistic contacts in the formative early history and prehistory of the Serbi-Mongolic language family, and a revised analysis of Kitan Assembled Script orthography.
