CREATING FAVOURABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE GROWTH OF THE IDU MISHMI LANGUAGE OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH
Keywords:
Idu Mishmi, language death, endangered language, efforts for saving, options of saving methodsAbstract
Idu Mishmi language is considered a definitely endangered language according to the records of the UNESCO ‘Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger’, (2009). Therefore, effective efforts are necessary to preserve the language which is the main source of culture, identity and the mainstay of the Idu Mishmi people of Arunachal Pradesh. Languages are dying every day and the efforts to save them are made by various societies in different ways. Referring to the initiatives and measures taken to stop the language death that are globally practised, some practices which can be used for the Idu Mishmi language are discussed here. The options for the Idu Mishmi speakers to use some such methods for the growth of the Idu Mishmi language form an important discussion in the present paper.
