  • 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.

  • 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.

    Zou Phonology Ch. Yashawanta Singh & Lukram Himmat Department of Linguistics Manipur University, Canchipur Abstract Zou language is spoken in the Churachandpur and Chandel Districts, about 65 km. away from Imphal, towards the south west of Manipur and the Chin State and Sagaing Division of Myanmar (Burma). The data is collected from Zou Veng of Churachandpur District, India. It is geographically not too far from Imphal. This paper makes an attempt to discuss the phonological systems of Zou. Seven vowel phonemes i.e. /i, e, o, u, a, and ə/, and eight diphthongs have identified. Twenty-two consonant phonemes are identified. All the consonant phonemes except /w/ and /y/ can occur the initial position. All the vowels and consonants are established on the basis of minimal pairs (contrast). Consonant clusters can occur in initial, position. Introduction Zou is spoken in Churachandpur and Chandel Districts of Manipur.

Twenty-two consonant phonemes are identified. All the consonant phonemes except /w/ and /y/ can occur in the initial position. The consonant phoneme /t/ is unique. All the vowels and consonants are established on the basis of minimal pairs (contrast). Consonant clusters can occur in initial. Zou has six syllabic patterns i.e. V, VC, CV, CVC, CCV, and CVCC. Minimal Pairs of Vowels Zou has 7 vowels, i.e. /i, e, o, u, and ə/. They are established on the basis of minimal pair (contrast).

  • “ a Sociolinguistic Profile of Kharam”
    A Sociolinguistic Study of Kharam Kh. Dutta Singh, Ph.D. Scholar =================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:9 September 2013 =================================================================== Kharam male in indigenous Dress Kharam female in indigenous Dress Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 13:9 September 2013 Kh. Dutta Singh, Ph.D. Scholar A Sociolinguistic Study of Kharam 172 Abstract Kharam is one of the Government recognized scheduled tribes of Manipur having its distinct language, custom and ethnic identity. Kharam is the name of the language and the community that speak the language. The term Kharam itself is a compound word kha means ‘south’ and ram means ‘land’ or ‘place’ which literally means ‘Southland’. The Kharam is mainly spoken in Tuisemphai, Laikot Kharam, Laikot Phaijol, Purum Likli, Kharam Thadoi, Tampak Kharam, New Keithel Manbi and Kharam Khullen villages in the Senapati district of Manipur. The total number of Kharam speakers in Manipur is 1000 according to Tribal Research Institute, Manipur (2013). Interestingly, the Kharam is absent in any classification of Tibeto-Burman languages made by Grierson (1903), Benedict (1972), Matisoff (2000, 2003). In fact, the Kharam language is closely related to Purum, Kom, Koireng and Chothe. The present paper is an attempt to explore ‘A Sociolinguistic Study of Kharam’. 1.0 Introduction Kharam is the name of the language as well as the community that speak the language. The speakers of Kharam are mainly found in Senapati district of Manipur and their language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family of the language. The term Kharam itself is a compound word kha means ‘south’ and ram means ‘land’ or ‘place’ which literally means ‘Southland’.
