  • 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.

  • 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.

Pure App. Biosci. 2 (1): 147-155 (2014) Research Article International Journal of Pure & Applied Bioscience Some Anti-diarrhoeic and Anti-dysenteric Ethno-medicinal Plants of Mao Naga Tribe Community of Mao, Senapati District, Manipur 1* 2 Sunita Gurumayum and Jiten Singh Soram 1Dept. of Botany, Asufii Christian Institute, Mao, Senapati District, Manipur-795150 2Dept. of Zoology, Asufii Christian Institute, Mao, Senapati District, Manipur-795150 *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Diarrhoea and dysentery are the important causes of mortality in the developing countries till today. 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.

  • Struggle for Survival: the Rongmei Nagas in Barak Valley
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Struggle For Survival: The Rongmei Nagas In Barak Valley Golmei Jenthui Rongmei, Research Scholar, Assam University. ABSTRACT This paper looks into the perception of the Rongmei Naga of Barak Valley, Assam. Most of the Rongmei Naga lives in the State of Manipur but a stream of migrating Rongmei had reached the Cachar district of Assam and settled here. The non-tribal settlers of the area have named the area as Nagapunji meaning Naga helmets. Although the Rongmei had a long relationship with the plains people of Cachar and a relationship of amity, mutual exchanges and peaceful co-existence was a historical tradition, settlement in Barak Valley posed some serious challenges to them. Firstly they were completely cut off from their main habitat in Manipur. As a result they found it hard to reproduce and perpetuate their traditions, religion and culture. Secondly, after the British occupation of Cachar and the Partition of India, the Bengal Hindu and Muslim population increased manifolds. This tremendous explosion of non-tribal population threatened the small demographic strength of the Rongmei as well as pressure on the land resources. The Rongmei practices shifting cultivation for which they needed large amount of freely available land so that they could change their farm land every ten years. The Rongmei not only had to give their agricultural pursuit due to the non-availability of land, they began to be displaced from their traditional habitat. Thirdly, living amidst non-tribal population who were mostly Hindu practicing a Brahmanic ideology with its accompanying caste structure, the animist beef eating Rongmei were threatened of being treated as untouchables.
