Mishing-Assamese Dialect: A socio-linguistic study

From the pre-historic time, Northeast India has been a rich land of tribes and cultures. Languages and sublanguages of different language families have been co-existing in the same space. Hence, Northeast India has witnessed the development of localized Aryan language, with a mixture of the assortment of other non-Aryan regional languages. The Mishing community has a remarkable contribution to it as well. This study provides a discussion on the socio-linguistic study of the Mishing-Assamese dialect.
