The People’s Linguistics Survey of India tries to give an idea of the extant and dying languages of India.
• It is the outcome of a nationwide survey of languages that has been documented by linguists, writers, social activists, and members of different speech communities.
• The Languages of Arunachal Pradesh documents the major languages that are spoken in the state—not only languages of well-known tribes, but also lesser known ethno-linguistic groups that are found within the larger ethnic groupings.
• The main objective of this volume is to bring numerically smaller ethno-linguistic communities into focus and provide them with a platform to share their views about their language and culture as they perceive it. (jacket)
