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. -

Traditional Knowledge of Medicinal Plants Used by the Chakhesang Naga Tribe in Phek District of Nagaland, India
Pleione 14(2): 237 - 247. 2020. ISSN: 0973-9467 © East Himalayan Society for Spermatophyte Taxonomy doi:10.26679/Pleione.14.2.2020.237-247 Traditional knowledge of medicinal plants used by the Chakhesang Naga tribe in Phek District of Nagaland, India Nelia Lea1 and Limasenla Department of Botany, Nagaland University, Lumami-798627, Nagaland 1Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] [Received 12.10.2020; Revised 21.12.2020; Accepted 22.12.2020; Published 31.12.2020] Abstract The present paper deals with the Chakhesang Naga traditional knowledge of medicinal plants which are used for the treatment of various ailments and diseases. The paper reports 68 species belonging to 41 families and 66 genera. The ethnobotanical data were analyzed through informant consensus factor (ICF) and fidelity level (FL). The informant consensus factor shows that blood pressure (0.87) has the highest agreement, followed by dermatological problems and inflammation and pain (0.83 respectively). Saccharum officinarum has the highest FL value (100%). Leaves were the most commonly used plant part. Key words: Medicinal plants, Chakhesang Naga tribe, Nagaland, Informant Consensus Factor, Fidelity Level INTRODUTION The state of Nagaland situated in Northeast India harbors rich biodiversity and is situated within the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot as recognized by IUCN. The Naga tribes have a rich knowledge, based on their natural resources of traditional folk medicine which they have developed through their age long, trial-and-error methods. The culture and traditional knowledge has been passed on from generation to generation through oral folklore, tradition, customs, and festivals. The state has 14 officially recognized Naga Tribes and 5 recognized Scheduled Tribes. -
The Extent and Nature of the Cprs in the Northeast I. the Concept Of
The Extent and Nature of the CPRs in the Northeast The Common Property Resources (CPRs) are important sources of livelihood to rural households in general and to the rural poor in particular. They are the livelihood both tangible and intangible of thousands of people. Far from being an exception to this, since most North Eastern States are on a hilly terrain inhabited by tribals, the CPRs play a more important role in people’s livelihood in this region than in the rest of India. The North Eastern economy is agrarian . Agriculture is the principal means of livelihood of most of its people 47.4 percent of whom are cultivators and 11.41 percent earn their livelihood as agricultural labourers. Table 2 shows the significance of land as a source of livelihood of the people of the Northeast. Thus, agriculture occupies an important place in the economy of the region but other sectors are neglected. 70 to 75 percent of the workforce of the region depends on the primary sector against 66 percent in India as a whole. More than 20 percent depend on the tertiary sector. These figures show the importance of CPRs as a source of livelihood of people of the region. I. The Concept of CPRs in General and in North East India The CPRs are community assets that provide both tangible and intangible livelihood (Shyhendra 2002: 3291) to their dependants. They include land used for cultivation and grazing, forests from which non-timber forest produce (NTFP) are collected, waste and panchayat land, watersheds, rivulets, rivers, ponds and other community assets. -

The Nagas: an Introduction
The Nagas: An Introduction The Nagas: An Introduction The entry of the Nagas into the written history of the world can be dated to 24th February 1826. On that day representa- tives of the Kingdom of Burma and the British military signed the Treaty of Yandabo, in which Burma renounced all claims to Assam and Manipur. The westward policy of expansion pursued by Burma – at that time the most pow- erful kingdom in Southeast Asia – had begun in the 1780s when Burmese troops occupied the independent Kingdom of Arakan and reached for the first time the eastern border of the British Indian Empire, which corresponds fairly exactly with the present-day borders of Bangladesh and North Ben- gal. In 1817 the Burmese invaded Assam and in 1819 the in- dependent Kingdom of Manipur. In 1823 they also annexed the Kingdom of Cachar, a strategic area for invading Bengal. In March of the following year, Britain officially declared war on Burma, a war which ended two years later with the aforementioned Treaty of Yandabo. Gradually Britain occu- pied the whole of Assam and intensified its diplomatic and military relations with Manipur, which was intended to have a key position in monitoring and if need be defending the border between Burma and the British sphere of influence. British India had reached the foot of the Naga Hills – the southeastern foothills of the Himalayas in the present bor- der triangle of India, Burma and China, which at that time was covered in jungle. The first Nagas with whom the British came in contact were the Tengima (Hutton 1914: 476). -

Not only that, they have sought to re-define the meaning of ‘indigenous faith’ and include Christianity also in the list of indige 40% population, as Wangpong Sabin claims, has been converted to Christianity. He says, “Today, it is estimated that more than 40% of the indigenou Pradesh are practicing Christianity. This matter can no more be ignored or reverted. The religious faith and practices of more than 40% indigenous citizens o be classified as “non-indigenous“. He says further – “Christianity is now as indigenous as Buddhism or Vaishnavism as mentioned in the Act, the only differe them was accepted by the indigenous people in different periods of history”. By saying that the church equates Christianity with Buddhism and Vaishnavism. that Buddhism and Vaishnavism came little early and Christianity little later but the doctrines preached, as it appears from the silly arguments of Church, is a Here, I would like to state that whatever Wangpon Sabin has said is nothing but a tip of ice-berg of deeper conspiracy hatched by church and supported by f to our country. -
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. -
Some Anti-Diarrhoeic and Anti-Dysenteric Ethno-Medicinal Plants of Mao Naga Tribe Community of Mao, Senapati District, Manipur

On the other hand, Manipur state as a whole lies in the Indo-Burma Biodiversity hot spot owing to which harbours diverged plants supporting about 50% of India’s biodiversity. Mao Naga tribe inhabits the Mao area, located at a unique geographic, climatic and topographical area in Senapati district of Manipur. The people of Mao Naga tribe think themselves to have migrated from China through oral storytelling and have a distinct colourful culture and tradition in which traditional system of medicine forms a large part. However, this vast body of ethno-botanical knowledge has remained largely unexplored. Thus, an ethno-medicinal survey has been conducted with the help of local volunteers and accordingly this paper has a record of 45 plant species being used in traditional medicine belonghing 41 genera and 28 families for treating diarrhoea and dysentery. The family Asteraceae has maximum species representation of six followed by the family Zingiberaceae with five recorded species. Leaves were the maximum parts used compared to the other parts with their 34.3% usage, followed by fruit (15%) and bark (12%).The study also showed an immense potential for ethno-botanical research in the area. -
