Lexical Prefixes and Tibeto-Burman Laryngeal Contrasts DAVID R. MORTENSEN University of Pittsburgh Introduction The correspondences between Tibeto-Burman onsets are complex and often diffi- cult to explain as products of regular, phonetically conditioned sound change. This is particularly true with regard to their laryngeal features. In his ground-breaking reconstruction of Proto-Tibeto-Burman (PTB), Benedict (1972:17–18) provides the following set of reflexes for his reconstructed PTB stops: PTB Tibetan Jingpho Burmese Garo Mizo *p ph pph p bph pph p bph b ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ *t th tth t dth tth t dth t tsh ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ *k kh kkh k gkh kkh k gkh k ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ *b b b p ph pbp ph b ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ *d d d t th tdt th d ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ *g g g k kh kgk kh k ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ Benedict reconstructs only two series of stops, despite the fact that there are a far larger number of consonant correspondences.

Interestingly, the term ‘Korbong’ is also used to denote the ‘language’ spoken by the same tribe. Therefore the Korbong is the name of the language and the people. Korbongs are found only in two villages having only about 117 speakers in the state of Tripura, particularly in the districts of Khowai and West Tripura. Genetically, Korbong is closely related to Bongcher, Bong, Darlong, Hrangkhal, Kaipeng, Mizo, Moulsom, Pangkhua, Ranglong, etc., except Kalai and Rupini.

INTRODUCTION: A Tribe is a group of distinct people, dependent on their land for their livelihood, who are largely self-sufficient, and not integrated into the national society. Thus the term usually denotes a social group bound together by kin and duty and associated with a particular territory. Tribes in the Indian context today are normally referred to in the language of the Constitution as “Scheduled Tribes”. The Tribal represent an important social category of Indian social structure. They are said to be the original inhabitants of India spread over the length and breadth of the country.

According to the oral sources, these people basically dispersed from two villages known as Maikhel (Mekhrore) and Khezhakenoma to different parts of the present-day Nagaland, Manipur and Assam. Their claim of common descent is endorsed by shared memories and conjoined geographical spaces besides the close linguistic lineage that is found among the varied dialects. However, before the colonial and American missionary experience, this kinship relationship was limited by historical factors and Tenyimia as a socio-cultural and political entity was not as defined as in the contemporary times and neither was there a common language called Tenyidie. It is in this context that the influence of western cultural traditions since the nineteenth century made a durable impression on the socio-cultural and political processes of the Tenyimia people across vast geographical spaces. As a result, Tenyidie language, which is basically a language adapted from various dialects by the American Missionaries became standardized among the Tenyimia people over time. In this paper, one of the main objectives is to see how a literate tradition has been fostered and embraced across dialectal and geographical spaces. To understand this phenomenon, the paper would try to locate the nature and interplay of history, identity and language in reinforcing historical consciousness and creating new sensibilities.

In theories of grammar, two kinds of information: “who is doing what (and to whom)”, the technical term for which is case or case role; and pragmatic information about “what is important”, have been assumed to be expressed by different means within a language.

    KET Historyrevised

    The History of Nagaland Reflected in its Literature (By Charles Chasie, President, Kohima Educational Society) Early History Before the advent of the American Missionaries, Nagas were illiterate, practised headhunting and lived in their village-states, mostly in isolation from each other. History and culture were passed down through word of mouth, from generation to generation. There was a rich tradition of oral literature but no question of books or written literature then. The first literary figure to make his presence felt in the region was E.W. Clarke, an American missionary of Dutch origin. With a journalistic background, he arrived in Assam in 1869 and was stationed at Sibsagar (Sivasagar) Mission. Armed with a printing press and an Assamese assistant (Godhula) in particular, he used to make forays into the Ao Naga hills. Slowly he started having converts. For the sake of his converts, he first translated and printed a hymn book and the Lord’s Prayer. He, finally, climbed the hills for a base at Molungyimsen Village in Ao Naga country in 1872. In 1884, the first printing press, called Molung Printing Press, was set up in Molunyimsen village. The same year The Gospels of Mathew and John were translated into Ao language. W.E Witter’s Grammar and Vocabulary in Lotha language came out in 1888. The book, St Mathew, in Angami language followed in 1889 and the Sema Primer by Rev H B Dickson in 1908. Later, E W Clarke brought out a “dictionary” in the Ao language in 1911. So while the primary objective was to teach the new Naga converts to pray, read the Bible and sing hymns, literacy/education slowly followed in its wake.

    DR. KAJAL JETHANAND SADHWANI VOLUME I ISSUE I INFINITY JOURNALS ARTICLE 4. INFINITY JOURNAL DR KAJAL JETHANAND SADHWANI ABSTRACT A tribe could also be a social division during a standard society consisting of families linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a typical culture and dialect. A tribe possesses certain qualities and characteristics that make it a singular cultural, social, and political entity. Tribes are also known by the name ‘Adivasis’ in India.I chose to research about north eastern people and their difficulties which led my study to tribal people. TRIBES IN INDIA Constitution of India has recognized tribal communities in India under ‘Schedule 5’ of the constitution. Hence the tribes recognized by the Constitution are mentioned as ‘ Scheduled Tribes’. There are around 645 distinct tribes in India. However, during this text , we concentrate only on the most names. What draws India closer to an obscure and indifferent picture are the indigenous tribes. away from the contemporary trend and economical development, they own their identity as Adivasi having their own language, religion, festivals, cuisine, dance and music. With such an enigmatic culture and hospitality they also significantly hold a contrasting patriarchal and matriarchal society. The lively tableau of the tribal community in India stretches from the remote villages tucked within the Indian Himalayan region to southern – most tip of India AND from the farthest corner of North Malay Archipelago to the dunes of Rajasthan. The tribal population in India covers approximately 15% of the country and thus the bulk is found in central India. INFINITY JOURNAL The tribes of India constitute 8.2% of the whole population.
