    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.

Migration by an Indo-European people was first hypothesized in the late 18th century, following the discovery of the Indo-European language family, when similarities between Western and Indian languages had been noted. Given these similarities, a single source or origin was proposed, which was diffused by migrations from some original homeland. This linguistic argument is supported by archaeological and anthropological research. Genetic research reveals that those migrations form part of a complex genetical puzzle on the origin and spread of the various components of the Indian population. Literary research reveals similarities between various, geographically distinct, Indo-Aryan historical cultures. The Indo-Aryan migrations started in approximately 1800 BCE, after the invention of the war chariot, and also brought Indo-Aryan languages into the Levant and possibly Inner Asia.

    Class - VIII AGRICULTURE OF ASSAM Agriculture forms the backbone of the economy of Assam. About 65 % of the total working force is engaged in agriculture and allied activities. It is observed that about half of the total income of the state of Assam comes from the agricultural sector. Fig 2.1: Pictures showing agricultural practices in Assam MAIN FEATURES OF AGRICULTURE Assam has a mere 2.4 % of the land area of India, yet supports more than 2.6 % of the population of India. The physical features including soil, rainfall and temperature in Assam in general are suitable for cultivation of paddy crops which occupies 65 % of the total cropped area. The other crops are wheat, pulses and oil seeds. Major cash crops are tea, jute, sugarcane, mesta and horticulture crops. Some of the crops like rice, wheat, oil seeds, tea , fruits etc provide raw material for some local industries such as rice milling, flour milling, oil pressing, tea manufacturing, jute industry and fruit preservation and canning industries.. Thus agriculture provides livelihood to a large population of Assam. AGRICULTURE AND LAND USE For the purpose of land utilization, the areas of Assam are divided under ten headings namely forest, land put to non-agricultural uses, barren and uncultivable land, permanent pastures and other grazing land, cultivable waste land, current fallow, other than current fallow net sown area and area sown more than once. 72 Fig 2.2: Major crops and their distribution The state is delineated into six broad agro-climatic regions namely upper north bank Brahmaputra valley, upper south bank Brahmaputra valley, Central Assam valley, Lower Assam valley, Barak plain and the hilly region.

    Dialectologia 19 (2017), 67-91. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 7 December 2015. Accepted 27 April 2016. ON DOCUMENTING LOW RESOURCED INDIAN LANGUAGES INSIGHTS FROM KANAUJI SPEECH CORPUS Pankaj DWIVEDI & Somdev KAR Indian Institute of Technology Ropar*∗ [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract Well-designed and well-developed corpora can considerably be helpful in bridging the gap between theory and practice in language documentation and revitalization process, in building language technology applications, in testing language hypothesis and in numerous other important areas. Developing a corpus for an under-resourced or endangered language encounters several problems and issues. The present study starts with an overview of the role that corpora (speech corpora in particular) can play in language documentation and revitalization process. It then provides a brief account of the situation of endangered languages and corpora development efforts in India. Thereafter, it discusses the various issues involved in the construction of a speech corpus for low resourced languages. Insights are followed from speech database of Kanauji of Kanpur, an endangered variety of Western Hindi, spoken in Uttar Pradesh. Kanauji speech database is being developed at Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, Punjab.

  • Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation by Communities in a Tribal Region of Central Himalaya: a Study from Uttarakhand Himalaya India

    Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation by Communities in a Tribal Region of Central Himalaya: a Study from Uttarakhand Himalaya India

    Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation by Communities in a Tribal Region of Central Himalaya: A Study from Uttarakhand Himalaya India Dinesh Pratap* ABSTRACT Impact of climate change is more pronounced in ecologically fragile mountain areas such as Himalayas where rapid altitudinal change results in high degree of variation in relief, natural vegetation and hydrology within short horizontal distance. The area selected for this study is located in Uttarakhand Himalaya which forms parts of Central Himalayan region of India. It is a mountainous tract with altitudinal range of 450mt to 3000mt and experiences cool- temperate climate. While forests cover 44% of the area, the cropping area is less than 10 % and another 43% is occupied by Common Pool Resources’ area. The tribal population comprises of 56% whereas another marginal community, the Scheduled Castes, makes up 34% of total population. The area and lags behind in development with low literacy rate (55%), poor health facilities and 70% of population being below poverty line. The climate data from regional meteorological observatories situated at distant locations from study area show the increase of average temperature by 0.50 C, decrease in rainfall, upward shifting of vegetation line etc in last 40 years. The Vulnerability Atlas of Indian Agriculture has classified the area as moderately vulnerable and having low adaptation capability. Thus it was chosen for understanding the impending climate change impacts and adaptation strategies. The analysis presented in the paper, apart from some secondary information, is based on climate data from local weather stations and primary survey conducted in six villages situated between altitude 900mt and 2000mt.

It developed as a link language of the Adivasis living mainly in and around Chota Nagpur Plateau that spreads over present day Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and parts of West Bengal and Orissa. There are about 97 heterogeneous communities like the Munda, Kharia, Ho, and Oraons which come under the umbrella term Adivasis. These communities mainly belongs to three language families namely, Austro- Asiatic, Indo-Aryan and Dravidian used Sadri as their link language for inter and intra community communication. Sadri gradually evolved as a Creole from pidgin, primarily due to their inter community marriages between the various linguistic groups amongst them. The offspring of these bilingual parents adopted this link language as their mother tongue. According to the 2001 Census Report there are 2,044,776 Sadri speakers in India. There are about 845 tea gardens (Toppno 1999) in Dibrugarh, Sibsagar, Jorhat, Golaghat, Lakhimpur, Tinsukia, Sonitpur, Nagaon and Kokrajhar districts of Assam. Key Words: Phonological features, Morphological Features, Literature Review, Importance of Sadri language in Assam, Research methodology. 1.

APL/08/OP/081-200 Foreword Education for All Goal 6 focuses on the quality of education.
