[www.keralites.net] Koro



New language discovered in northeast India

Kachim, a speaker of the hidden language Koro, talks to National Geographic Fellow Gregory Anderson. The expedition is featured in a new National Geographic book, The Last Speakers.

New language was discovered in the Arunachal Pradesh region of India. Arunachal Pradesh region is rugged and hilly part of the subcontinent. The northeast corner of India is recognized as a hotspot of language diversity. There are lots of people who talk different languages. The area where the language was found is known as a language hotspot because of the large number of languages spoken in the area. It is a language hotspot where there is room to study rich, varied languages, many unwritten or familiar. Previously unknown language now called "KORO" has emerged in Northeast part of India. However, Koro is totally drastic and distinct than any other languages establish in this region.

Koro belongs to Tibeto-Burman words family which contains more than 400 languages. Only about 800 people are believed to speak the Tibeto-Burman language. Researchers imagine it may have originated from a group of people imprisoned and brought to the vicinity. The researchers also say that Koro is so different that they have not been capable to identify any in the language family that are closely related to it. The new language has a totally different record of sounds than additional languages in the region, and its own way of placing together words and judgment.
