See note on nomenclature below. 70= TIBETIC phylozone 71= HIMALAYIC phylozone 72= GARIC phylozone 73= KUKIC phylozone 74= MIRIC phylozone 75= KACHINIC phylozone 76= RUNGIC phylozone 77= IRRAWADDIC phylozone 78= KARENIC phylozone 79= SINITIC phylozone This continental affinity is composed of two major parts: the disparate Tibeto-Burman affinity (zones 70= to 77=), spoken by relatively small communities (with the exception of 77=) in the Himalayas and adjacent regions; and the closely related Chinese languages of the Sinitic set and net (zone 79=), spoken in eastern Asia. The Karen languages of zone 78=, formerly considered part of the Tibeto-Burman grouping, are probably best regarded as a third component of Sino-Tibetan affinity. Zone 79=Sinitic includes the outer-language with the largest number of primary voices in the world, representing the most populous network of contiguous speech-communities at the end of the 20th century ("Mainstream Chinese" or so- called 'Mandarin', standardised under the name of Putonghua). This phylosector is named 7=Sino-Indian (rather than Sino-Tibetan) to maintain the broad geographic nomenclature of all ten sectors of the linguasphere, composed of the names of continental or sub-continental entities.

  • Indian Hieroglyphs
    Indian hieroglyphs Indus script corpora, archaeo-metallurgy and Meluhha (Mleccha) Jules Bloch’s work on formation of the Marathi language (Bloch, Jules. 2008, Formation of the Marathi Language. (Reprint, Translation from French), New Delhi, Motilal Banarsidass. ISBN: 978-8120823228) has to be expanded further to provide for a study of evolution and formation of Indian languages in the Indian language union (sprachbund). The paper analyses the stages in the evolution of early writing systems which began with the evolution of counting in the ancient Near East. Providing an example from the Indian Hieroglyphs used in Indus Script as a writing system, a stage anterior to the stage of syllabic representation of sounds of a language, is identified. Unique geometric shapes required for tokens to categorize objects became too large to handle to abstract hundreds of categories of goods and metallurgical processes during the production of bronze-age goods. In such a situation, it became necessary to use glyphs which could distinctly identify, orthographically, specific descriptions of or cataloging of ores, alloys, and metallurgical processes. About 3500 BCE, Indus script as a writing system was developed to use hieroglyphs to represent the ‘spoken words’ identifying each of the goods and processes. A rebus method of representing similar sounding words of the lingua franca of the artisans was used in Indus script. This method is recognized and consistently applied for the lingua franca of the Indian sprachbund. That the ancient languages of India, constituted a sprachbund (or language union) is now recognized by many linguists. The sprachbund area is proximate to the area where most of the Indus script inscriptions were discovered, as documented in the corpora.

  • Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 35.2 — October 2012
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 35.2 — October 2012 REPORT ON THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE NORTH EAST INDIAN LINGUISTICS SOCIETY DON BOSCO INSTITUTE, GUWAHATI, INDIA 31 JANUARY–4 FEBRUARY, 2012 Lauren Gawne Amos Teo University of Melbourne Australian National University The 7th North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS7) workshop and conference was held from 31 January to 4 February 2012 at the Don Bosco Institute, Khaghuli Hills, in Guwahati, Assam. The event was organised by Jyotiprakash Tamuli and Anita Tamuli (Gauhati University), Mark Post (James Cook University) and Stephen Morey (La Trobe University). It was heartening to see many new as well as familiar faces, including local researchers from across India (particularly Assam and Manipur) and international ones from Australia, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Of the countries neighbouring North East India, we also had researchers from Nepal, Bhutan, and, for the first time at a NEILS conference, researchers from Bangladesh. The two-day workshop that preceded the conference was run by Stephen Morey and Lauren Gawne and provided practical, hands-on training in basic language documentation for community members and students alike. This year we had the fortune to work with speakers of 12 different languages from North East India: Apatani, Bodo, Dimasa, Galo, Hakhun (Tangsa), Meithei, Meyor, Puroik, Rabha, Tai Phake, Tangam and Thadou Chin. It should be noted that some groups, especially those from Arunachal Pradesh, travelled up to four days to participate in the workshop. The first part of the workshop was spent familiarising ourselves with our recording equipment and some basic recording techniques, then we got straight into recording wordlists and stories.

  • A Study on Rongmei Syllable Structure
    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal DOI: 10.7176/JLLL Vol.56, 2019 A Study on Rongmei Syllable Structure Debajit Deb Department. of Linguistics, Rabindranath Tagore School of Languages and Cultural Studies, Assam University, Silchar, Assam. India Abstract A syllable is a sound or succession of a sounds uttered within a single breath-impulse. Syllable is a unit of pronunciation consisting of a vowel alone or of a vowel with one or more consonants. Phonologically, the syllable is “a unit containing one and only one vowel either alone or surrounded by consonants in certain arrangements”. (O’Connor 1973). It is generally accepted that nucleus is obligatory in all languages, thus, the same is true in case of Rongmei. Rongmei is one of the schedule tribe of Northeast India, mainly concentrated in Assam (Barak Valley), Manipur and Nagaland. Ethnically, Rongmeis are Mongloids and their language belongs to Kuki-Naga section of the Kamarupan group of the Baric sub-division of Tibeto-Burman family of languages (Matisoff, 2001). The analysis indicates that Rongmei treats both onset and coda as optional. Besides, the clustering phenomenon is absent at both onset position coda position. This paper is an effort to look into the possible syllable structure in Rongmei Naga language spoken in Barak Valley of South Assam. Keywords : Syllable, Syllable Tree, Heavy Syllable, Light Syllable, Syllable Structure, DOI : 10.7176/JLLL/56-07 Publication date :May 31 st 2019 1. Introduction According to Catford (1988), the syllable is defined “as a minimal pulse of initiatory activity bounded by a momentary retardation of the initiator, either self imposed, or more usually, imposed by a consonant type of articulatory stricture”.

  • THE LANGUAGES of MANIPUR: a CASE STUDY of the KUKI-CHIN LANGUAGES* Pauthang Haokip Department of Linguistics, Assam University, Silchar
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 34.1 — April 2011 THE LANGUAGES OF MANIPUR: A CASE STUDY OF THE KUKI-CHIN LANGUAGES* Pauthang Haokip Department of Linguistics, Assam University, Silchar Abstract: Manipur is primarily the home of various speakers of Tibeto-Burman languages. Aside from the Tibeto-Burman speakers, there are substantial numbers of Indo-Aryan and Dravidian speakers in different parts of the state who have come here either as traders or as workers. Keeping in view the lack of proper information on the languages of Manipur, this paper presents a brief outline of the languages spoken in the state of Manipur in general and Kuki-Chin languages in particular. The social relationships which different linguistic groups enter into with one another are often political in nature and are seldom based on genetic relationship. Thus, Manipur presents an intriguing area of research in that a researcher can end up making wrong conclusions about the relationships among the various linguistic groups, unless one thoroughly understands which groups of languages are genetically related and distinct from other social or political groupings. To dispel such misconstrued notions which can at times mislead researchers in the study of the languages, this paper provides an insight into the factors linguists must take into consideration before working in Manipur. The data on Kuki-Chin languages are primarily based on my own information as a resident of Churachandpur district, which is further supported by field work conducted in Churachandpur district during the period of 2003-2005 while I was working for the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore, as a research investigator.

  • Commission 28 February 2019.Cdr
    Com.mission 28 Volume: 1 No: 6, March 2019 Newsletter of Northeast India From the Secretary's Desk... Dear Friends, The enthusiastic participation of 54 religious personnel gathered at the Diocesan Social Forum, at Kharguli, Guwahati during the meeting organized by the Commission for Proclamation gave a clear message: Evangelization and proclamation of the Gospel are not outdated as one would often think in this fast moving world obsessed with many other matters which are seen as more vital. These were men and women who were secretaries for evangelization in the 15 Dioceses of Northeast India, and in the various provinces of the religious congregations working in the region. The input sessions and the discussions during the two days which focused on the present situation of the Church and its activities in the Northeast with regard to strengthening and spreading the faith were lively and practical. Coming together as a team was itself a manifestation of the eagerness of the Church to carry out the command of the Lord. Communion in Mission is achievable and in a situation where the Church is challenged on so many fronts, it is irreplaceable. It is the Master calling us to dream big and be part of His plan for the wonderful people of Northeast. Setting aside petty differences, sacrificing personal comforts, we are all asked to follow the Divine Master in His search for souls. As we enter the beautiful season of Lent, the call to conversion grows louder. The invitation to a personal experience of the Lord is extended to each one.
