Richard Keith Sprigg (31 March 1922 – 8 September 2011) was a British linguist who specialised in the phonology of Asian languages. Sprigg was educated under J. R. Firth and was a member of the first generation of professional British linguists. Also as a consequence Sprigg was an advocate of the prosodic phonological method of Firth. Sprigg worked on several Tibeto-Burman languages including Lepcha, and various Tibetan dialects. He taught for many years at the School of Oriental and African Studies, and retired to Kalimpong, West Bengal, India with his wife Ray, granddaughter of David Macdonald the author of ''The Land of the Lama'' and ''20 Years in Tibet'', until her death. In 2000 he returned to UK and lived in retirement with his second wife Elisabeth in Crowborough, East Sussex, England. ==Works== *Sprigg, Richard Keith (1950). "Hunting the things they say."
