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.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. 1 Abstract Proto-Kuki-Chin by Kenneth VanBik Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor James A. Matisoff, Chair The Kuki-Chin languages constitute one of the most important subgroups of the great Tibeto-Burman family. This dissertation attempts to reconstruct the sound system of the ancestor language, Proto-Kuki-Chin, by comparing the initial consonants, rhymes, and nominal tones of a large number of KC languages. This study of Proto-Kuki-Chin depends primarily on twelve languages: three from the Central Chin group: Mizo (aka Lushai), Hakha Lai, and Falam Lai; four from the Southem- Plains Chin group: Mindat Cho, Daai, Asho (aka Plains Chin), and Khumi; four from the Northern Chin group: Tedim (aka Tiddim), Paite, Thado-Kuki, and Sizang; and finally one from the Maraic group, namely Mara (aka Lakher). Chapter 1 introduces the Kuki-Chin speakers and their geographical locations, and traces the etymologies of the names Kuki and Chin.

  • A Sociological View on Dong of Biate Society
    A Sociological View on Dong of Biate Society Timothy L. Singson* and A.K.Nongkynrih** Abstract Social scientists in India have been writing on family or households in India. However, the same cannot be said in the context of North-East India. This paper focuses on households in tribal communities and focuses on the households of the Biate tribe, known as dong, its meanings and role. Both primary and secondary data was used in the paper. It can be said that dong is a physical and social entity. As a social entity it can be called a patriarchal household, an inclusive unit, a socialising unit, a corporate, property-owning group, and also a place of decision-making concerning the life-cycle of members. Introduction In social science research, family or household in India has received substantive focus and attention. However, writings on family or household in tribal societies of India have been limited. In this paper, the household as a concept is used and applied in the discussion and the empirical observation was drawn from a tribal society called Biate. On the issue of selecting household as the concept, one would agree with the statement in the Dictionary of Sociology, ‘For many purposes of sociological analysis this is a term preferable to the more widely used family’ (Abercrombie et al 1984: 201). The reason for selecting household as a working definition was to take into cognizance the variations of composition of members in households. In the context of Biate society, the place where one lives or resides is referred to as dong, and dong can be equated to household.

  • Word Order in Biate
    ====================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 19:6 June 2019 ===================================================================== Word Order in Biate M Hemminlal Haokip, Ph.D. Scholar Department of Linguistics Assam University, Silchar 788011 [email protected] Phone: 8402023162 ====================================================================== Abstract The paper aims to discuss the word order pattern in Biate (ISO639-3), an endangered and undocumented language spoken in Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, Dima Hasao (North Cachar Hills) district of Assam and some parts of Mizoram and Manipur. Biate stands for both the people and the language. It is spoken by 19,000 speakers (Ethnologue 2019). Grierson-Konow (1904) and Graham Thurgood (2003) classified Biate to the Old-Kuki sub-group of Sino-Tibetan language family. The paper will discuss and examine the word order pattern, which is one of the primary ways in which languages differ from one another. Biate is a verb-final language, with SOV as its basic word order. It exhibits a large number of characteristics expected of it as an OV language. Biate employs postpositions (PP), which follow the noun phrase they combine with. Like other Kuki-Chin languages, the genitive is indicated by the possessor which precedes the possessed item. The Adjective follows the noun (NAdj) in Biate. Noun modifiers like numerals and classifiers follow the noun. Relative clause precedes the noun (RelN) in Biate. Keywords: Biate, Kuki-Chin, Word order, Tibeto-Burman Introduction Biate is one of the recognized tribes of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Manipur under ‘Any Kuki Tribes’. The word Biate has varied meanings; the most common meaning that seems everybody accepts is worshippers, referring to a common worship of a particular deity or different worship of various deities by their ancestors from time immemorial, (Remsiama Ngamlai, 20141).

    ALL-INDIA WRITERS' MEET 24-25 March 2018, Kohima, Nagaland In collaboration with Nagaland University, a two-day All-India Writers' Meet was organized on 24-25 March 2018 at Kohima, Nagaland. For the first time the Akademi organized a national-level programme at Nagaland. The very objective of this mega event was a challenge to bring reputed writers from various languages and from different parts of the country to Nagaland and usher in a new environment for the Naga writers. This was an opportunity to bring together different languages of the country with the languages of Nagaland. Dr K. Sreenivasarao, Secretary, Sahitya Akademi, while welcoming the delegates, encouraged the native writers to bring out the beautiful Naga cultural and literary traditions so as to make them known to others. Dr D. Kuolie, General Council Member, Sahitya Akademi, asserted that the idea of organizing this event was a constructive endeavour, an attempt to bring the writers of the country together. Professor Temsula Ao, eminent English writer, delivered the keynote address and observed that the Nagas have a rich oral tradition, but modern generation has lost many knowledgeable story-tellers and folk-singers, which she considered as the greatest casualties of progress and development of the society. She encouraged and appreciated the younger generation to create a new tradition where the soul of oral tradition resonates with new vigour. Prof. Temsula Ao delivering the keynote address Dr Madhav Kaushik speaking during the event Professor Ramesh C. Gupta, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Nagaland University, gave a brief historical account on the institutionalization of Sahitya Akademi and highlighted the aspiration of the pioneers.

Article Information: Submission: 02/03/2021; Accepted: 08/06/2021; Published: 16/06/2021 Abstract The Dimasa Kacharis of Dima Hasao, Assam, India have adopted many ethnic ways of using plants, surrounding them, sometimes due to easy availability or poor communication system. But, with modernization, the ethnicity is gradually fading. Thus, it is very important to scientifically document, restore and preserve the knowledge of ethnobotany for greater interest of human society. The extensive interview survey has been carried out among the people of Dimasa Kachari community of 18 villages in Maibang, Langting, Diyungbra and Umrangso of Dima Hasao, Assam from the month of August 2015 to May 2017 following the open-ended questionnaire survey. Sixty-two respondents report a total of 116 plant species and 19 plant parts, of which 74, 60, 22 and 15 species and 13, 12, 11 and 7 plant parts are used for medicinal, edible, cultural and household uses respectively, where some of them are used commonly.
