Introduction. The Chakma people were in origin Tibeto-Burman, related to the Burmese. The language which they now speak is Indo-European, part of the Southeastern Bengali branch of Eastern Indo-Aryan. Its better-known closest relatives are Bengali, Assamese, Chittagonian, Bishnupriya, and Sylheti. It is spoken by 312,000 people in southeast Bangladesh near Chittagong City, and another 176,000 in India in Mizoram, Assam, Tripura, and Arunachal Pradesh. Literacy in Chakma script is low. The script itself is also called Ajhā pāṭh, sometimes romanized Ojhopath. There is a certain amount of glyph variation between the script as used in India and Bangladesh. Some fonts are rounder, similar to the style used in Myanmar; compare a similar variation in the Tai Tham script as used in Khün Tai. The glyphs used in this proposal are based on the Chadigang font, with some alterations toward more “generic” shapes for some characters. The Chakma script is currently being adapted for use in Tanchangya, a language which is closely related to Chakma. An effort to develop the orthography is currently underway, and it appears that there may be additional letters, vowel signs, and tone marks added to cover this script.

    Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A

    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

RANGOON: OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING, BURMA. 19 02 • PREFACE. I FIND it impossible to place adequatelY on record my acknow­ ledgments to those who have laboured with me in the preparation of this Report. To review the proofs as a connected whole is to realize, to an overwhelming degree, how much I am beholden to others and to take the measure of my indebtedness is to be seized with an uneasy sense of the hopelessness of attempting to compound, even. to the scC!-n­ tiest extent, with all of my many creditors. I must leave it to the pages of the Report itself to bear grateful testimony to my obli­ gations. A glance at the language chapter will tell how shadowy a production it would have been wIthout the benefit 9f Dr. Grierson's erudition. Every paragraph of the caste, tribe and race chapter will show with how lavish .a hand I have drawn upon Sir George Scott for my material. I would, however, take this opportunity of specially thanking Dr. Cushing and Mr. Taw Sein Kho, who have responded more than generously to my appeals for assistance and advice. '1 he greater part of the Report has been shown to Mr. Eales, and it is to his ripe experience that I am indebted for hints which have led me to alter portions. To Mr. Regan, Superintendent of Government Printing, my thanks are due for having, in the face of sudden and quite excep­ tional difficulties, succeeded in passing this volume through the Press without undue delay.

    Indigenous Languages in the Secondary Curriculum in Bangladesh: A Study in Khagrachari District. Niger Sultana Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Education College of Education University of Canterbury, Christchurch June 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank and dedicate this thesis to my parents, for their support and encouragement throughout this research study when overseas. I am especially grateful to Dr Baljit Kaur for her active encouragement, guidance and support during the initial stages of this research. My greatest gratitude goes to my supervisors, Dr Kathleen Quinlivan and Dr Sylvie Gagnon for their continuous advice, direction, understanding, enthusiasm, encouragement and friendly dispositions. I have greatly appreciated the students of three tribal groups (Chakma, Marma, and Tripura) and the teachers at the school where this investigation took place for their enthusiasm in sharing opinions, and thoughts. Without their contribution, this investigation would not have been possible. My vote of thanks goes to community leaders from the three tribal groups for their eagerness of sharing experiences, beliefs, and opinions about the role of tribal languages in their children's learning. I am also thankful to the curriculum planner for his perceptions about the significance of tribal students' mother language in learning, and giving the hard-copies and electronic copies of curriculum documents. Niger Sultana Page 1 I would like to thank to my brother (Kazi Shah Mohammad Fazle Alim) and my friend (Jishu Acharjee) for their sincere support and company while I was moving from Dhaka to Chittagong and Chittagong to Khagrachari to carry on my data collection process.

    The Chakma Voice-Global Edition-Nov-Dec 2010 Issue

    Message from the MCDF President Dear Chakma Community, Mizoram Chakma Development forum (MCDF) has turned one year on 11th October 2010. As I look back I am happy to note that we are no longer a small group of people but now have thousands of people with us and behind us – enough to give confidence and momentum to march ahead. I bet we have just scratched the surface of what’s possible together. What an amazing journey together. In just a single year MCDF has done numerous activities which have started giving result and as these begin to bear fruits the outcome will lead to improved condition for the Chakmas in Mizoram and develop greater ties among Chakmas across the globe. Please turn to page 4 to know some of the important activities undertaken by MCDF so far. Each day people are willing to join us which is very encouraging sign. What brings us together, I think is the fact that we all are concerned about our situation, we all care to be developed, care to be educated, care to earn a good living, and care to be free from all sorts of oppression. Over thousands of us have under the aegis of MCDF now resolved to seek our right to development and re- solved to conduct our responsibilities as members of great Chakma Community, as an exemplary citizens, protecting our right to be educated, confronting systematic discrimination in any nature and form, eradicate corruption, work for peace and harmonious co-existence with our fellow communities like Mizo, Mara and Lai etc.

A glance at the language chapter will tell how shadowy a production it would have been without the benefit of Dr. Grierson's erudition. Every paragraph of the caste, tribe and race chapter will show with how lavish a hand I have drawn upon Sir George Scott for my material. I would, however, take .this opportunity of specially thanking Dr. Cushing and Mr. Taw Sein Kho, who have responded more than generously to my appeals for assistance and advice. The great.er part of the Report has been shown to Mr. Eales, and it is to his ripe experience that I am indebted for hints which have led me to alter portions. To Mr. Regan, Superintendent of Government Printing, my thanks are due for having, in the face of sudden and quite excep­ tional difficulties, succeed'ed in passing this volume through the Press without undue delay.
