    Englishes Today I February 2016 I Volume II, Issue I ISSN : 2395 4809 ENGLISHES TODAY I February 2016 I Vol. II, Issue I I ISSN : 2395 4809 Culture as Language: The Maithili Trajectory Dr. Usha Sharan Sr. Asst. Professor, Department of English, Purnea Mahila College,Purnea. B.N Mandal University, Bihar, INDIA. Abstract Language as a construct of the cultural heritage, has become a ground for raising several issues related to tangible and intangible forms of the inherited past. It has become a discourse which involves the existence of a historical past that shapes and influences a large part of the human existence and psyche. It also entails concerns which are engendered by the necessity and importance of our past. Our roots, as such, in turn, nourish and provide a background for the growth of fresh cultural behavior and dialectics. The understanding of one’s quest for the ‘self’ is engendered in a novel way through this identity as a form of inherited culture. Thus language as one of the oldest human institutions becomes a discourse cutting cross cultural boundaries. The cultural and social system of particular areas becomes intrinsic to one’s identity as language has an inevitable link with it. India is known for its diverse culture, based on various linguistic areas and concerns .Among these languages is Maithili, spoken widely in the northern and eastern Bihar and a large part of the Terai region of Nepal, which occupies a status in the 8th schedule in the Constitution of India . Originating from the Indo-Aryan family, the spoken Vedic dialects developed into the Magadhi, which later branched out in the North-East into Maithili, Odiya, Bangla And Assamese.

A total of 80 ethno-medicinal plants belonging to 34 families have been enlisted here. Correct nomenclature, local names, families and habit have been assigned to all the species. Herbs (56%) form the major portion of these species followed by trees (15%), shrubs (13%) and climbers (6%). Native people frequently use leaves (23%) of the plants followed by roots (20%), fruits (14%), whole plants (12%), seeds (8%), flowers (5%), bark (5%) and resin/latex/oil (1%). Asteraceae family with 10 members is the dominant family for ethnobotanically important plants, followed by Rosaceae (7) and Lamiaceae (6). All the collected plant species are found to be used by local people to treat about 55 diseases including cough, fever, jaundice, arthritis, asthma, diarrhoea, etc. Key words: Pindari valley, ethnobotanical plants, Western Himalaya, disease.
