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. -

Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 35.2 — October 2012
Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 35.2 — October 2012 REPORT ON THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE NORTH EAST INDIAN LINGUISTICS SOCIETY DON BOSCO INSTITUTE, GUWAHATI, INDIA 31 JANUARY–4 FEBRUARY, 2012 Lauren Gawne Amos Teo University of Melbourne Australian National University The 7th North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS7) workshop and conference was held from 31 January to 4 February 2012 at the Don Bosco Institute, Khaghuli Hills, in Guwahati, Assam. The event was organised by Jyotiprakash Tamuli and Anita Tamuli (Gauhati University), Mark Post (James Cook University) and Stephen Morey (La Trobe University). It was heartening to see many new as well as familiar faces, including local researchers from across India (particularly Assam and Manipur) and international ones from Australia, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Of the countries neighbouring North East India, we also had researchers from Nepal, Bhutan, and, for the first time at a NEILS conference, researchers from Bangladesh. The two-day workshop that preceded the conference was run by Stephen Morey and Lauren Gawne and provided practical, hands-on training in basic language documentation for community members and students alike. This year we had the fortune to work with speakers of 12 different languages from North East India: Apatani, Bodo, Dimasa, Galo, Hakhun (Tangsa), Meithei, Meyor, Puroik, Rabha, Tai Phake, Tangam and Thadou Chin. It should be noted that some groups, especially those from Arunachal Pradesh, travelled up to four days to participate in the workshop. The first part of the workshop was spent familiarising ourselves with our recording equipment and some basic recording techniques, then we got straight into recording wordlists and stories. -

The Pharma Innovation Journal 2019; 8(12): 12-14 ISSN (E): 2277- 7695 ISSN (P): 2349-8242 NAAS Rating: 5.03 Screening of fungicides against leaf spot of turmeric TPI 2019; 8(12): 12-14 © 2019 TPI caused by Colletotrichum capsici www.thepharmajournal.com Received: 14-09-2019 Accepted: 17-10-2019 Nabakishor Nongmaithem and Thiyam Rebika Nabakishor Nongmaithem Directorate of Research, Abstract Central Agricultural University, Fungicides are the most common mean for the management of leaf spot of turmeric crop caused by Imphal, Manipur, India Colletotrichum capsici (syd.) Buttler and Bisby. Four fungicides viz., Sixer (Mancozeb 63% W.P. + Carbendazim 12% W.P.), Ridomil gold (Mancozeb 64% w/w + Metalaxyl-M 4% w/w), Carzim 50 Thiyam Rebika (Carbendazim 50% W.P.) and Captab 20% W.P. were screened at 0.2% dose against the pathogen by Uttar Banga Krishi paper disc method. Amongst the fungicides, Carbendazim 50% @ 0.2 percent showed maximum zone of Vishwavidyalaya, Pundibari, inhibition (2.43cm) of mycelial growth of the pathogen. Effect of Mancozeb 63%+Carbendazim 12% Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India showed zone of inhibition of 1.53cm in inhibiting the mycelial growth of C. capsici and was found next to Carbendazim 50% per cent. Captab 20% (1.34 cm) also showed effective results as compared to mancozeb 64% + metalaxyl-M 4% (0.83 cm) in inhibition of mycelia growth of Colletotrichum leaf spot of Turmeric. Keywords: screening, fungicides, leaf spot, turmeric 1. Introduction Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is one of the major spice crops of India belongs to the family Zingiberaceae which is commercially cultivated for its underground rhizomes. -
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. -
