Abstract
In the "pronominalized" languages of Nepal and the rGyalrongic languages of western China verb agreement is part of the verb word. In languages of the far eastern Himalayas and North East India, agreement and tense/aspect occur in a separate word. This correlates with prosodic structure: trochaic in Kiranti and Central Himalayan versus iambic in the NEI languages.
