Recommended books

If you are interested in the Japanese language and/or other East Asian languages in general, I recommend the following books:

• The Eastern Old Japanese Corpus and Dictionary (Alexander Vovin & Sambi Ishisaki-vovin) - A very good book that discusses etymology and origins of Middle-Old Japanese vocabulary.
• Koguryo: The Language of Japan's Continental Relatives: An Introduction to the Historical-Comparative Study of the Japanese-Koguryoic Languages (Christopher I. Beckwith) - The book that dives deeply into the overlap between Goguryeo and Old Japanese, finding evidence and holes within the macro-Altaic languages theory.
