In term of agriculture, people cultivate rice as the major crop. Besides rice they also cultivate bettle-nut (kwai) and bettle-leaves (pathi/tympew), potato, sweet potato, maize, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, etc. Most of the farmers in the area are depending on seasonal rainfall as only a few portion of the land are covered under irrigational system. Historical importance : The total population of the District is 1,22,436 inhabiting in 206 villages. The District literacy rate as per 2011 census stands at 53%. Majority of the inhabitants of the Sub-Division are economically poor though some portion of the population are wealthy enough and live a life far above the Poverty Line due to the presence of mineral wealth like coal and limestone and other agricultural products. Pnar tribe constitutes one of the main tribes residing in the district. Other tribes who live in different parts of the district include Biate, Hmar, Garo, Khasi and War. Pnar language is the common language spoken by the people of the district. Jaintias are also known as Syngtengs and Pnars. Their kingdom was the oldest one and widely spread over the hilly areas of the Jaintia Hills District. The origin of the Jaintia kingdom is unknown. The capital, Jaitiapur, now ruined, was located on the plains at the foot of the Jaintia Hills. Jaintia people are rich in their cultural heritage. Their culture reflects the traditions, music, dances, arts and crafts of Jaintia tribe. The tribe is famous for artistic weaving, would carving and cane and bamboo works. These are also the main crafts of the tribe. They are also famous for weaving of carpet and silk and the making of musical instruments, jewellery and pine apple fibre articles. Jaintia men wear Jymphong and dhoti while the women wrap several pieces of cloths so as to give a cylindrical shape. During functions they wear crowns of silver and gold with peak attached at the back of it. Jaintias are a matrilineal society which is a very rare and unique practice were the children take the identity or family title solely from the mother. Women are very lucky in this way, because they are treated with equal rights but the head of the family is always the father. Amongst the Jaintias, it is the youngest daughter who inherits the property and has the obligation to take care and look after the family members in case of any financial or health problems. The main language widely used by the inhabitants of this districts is the Pnar language. However, the official language is English. The other languages spoken in the district in the coal mining areas Biate, Hindi, Nepali, Bengali and Assamese, etc....The main occupation in the District is the coal mining business.

  • Also Known As Jaintia Or Synteng, Though Pnar Is the Term Pre
    chapter 20 Pnar Hiram Ring 1 Background Pnar (pbv) (also known as Jaintia or Synteng, though Pnar is the term pre- ferred by speakers) is a member of the Khasian (or Meghalayan) branch of Austroasiatic language spoken in northeast India, primarily in the West and East Jaintia Hills Districts of Meghalaya State.1 Some speakers are found in Assam state to the north and east as well as in the neighboring country of Bangladesh to the south. Although traditionally described as a dialect of Khasi, Pnar exhibits key differences in pronunciation, lexicon, and syntax. According to native speakers of both languages, the differences mean that Pnar and Khasi are not mutually intelligible, though the similarities allow speakers of one lan- guage to learn the other in some months if they are made aware of the differ- ences. The two communities also share many cultural similarities which have contributed to a unity of society and practice, particularly in the domains of government and traditional religion. Khasi is the main language of instruction in primary schools of the region. The 2001 Census of India counted 243,000 speakers of Pnar. The 2011 Census of India (which has not yet released language-specific figures) lists the total population of Jaintia Hills as 395,124. Daladier (2011) estimates the current number of Pnar speakers at around 700,000, though this seems largely a guess. As late as 2011, Khasi was listed in UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger2 as vulnerable, suggesting that it may be in some danger, but due to its consistent use as a language of instruction, this classification is somewhat problematic.

  • Editorial Note
    Editorial Note This volume was produced under difficult conditions. The publication of articles was not only very slow; the number of articles was also reduced due to circumstances beyond our control - the heavy flood in Thailand during October to December 2011. So we ask the reader’s indulgence for any effects this may have on the volume. For this volume, we are pleased to present articles focused on the following languages: Jieyang-Hakka, Jowai-Pnar, Lai, Pumi, Ten-edn, Tai and Viet-Mường; these papers make contributions to language documentation, especially in phonetics and lexicography, and better understanding the historical processes of language diversification. Additionally there are typological papers on phonetics and narrative in Mon-Khmer languages which address important general issues. Graceful acknowledgement should be made to Paul Sidwell for seeing the final volume through to press, and to Brian Migliazza for facilitating the publication of his volume. The Mon-Khmer Studies (MKS) was first published by the Linguistic Circle of Saigon and the Summer Institute of Linguistics in 1964. After nearly 50 years, the print edition will be discontinued. From the volume 41 onward, the MKS is going completely digital and open access. The journal will move to a continuous online publication model, consistent with trends in academic publishing internationally. Also, arrangements will be made for print-on- demand delivery, although we expect electronic distribution to become normal. We thank our readers, authors, reviewers and editors for their continuing support of the journal, now and into the future.
