“…In his study, presumably of the Northern variety, does not report about the glottal stop but reports the presence of a final glottal stop in his 2017 study of Ntu village variety of Nagaland. For the study of the Southern Liangmai variety, Moita (2007), Raguibou (2015), Kailadbou Daimai (2020) reported the presence of glottal stop, while Guichamlung who is also from Thalon village (Southern) does not report the presence of the glottal stop.…”

This paper provides an overview of the phonological features of Liangmai, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Northeast India. It highlights some important features of Liangmai phonology from earlier reports and serves as an update on the study of Liangmai sound system. The phoneme inventory, syllable structure, some phonological and morphophonological features, and the structure of Liangmai tones are presented. In the beginning, the paper presents various linguistic studies carried on Liangmai so far and a brief discussion is presented on the dialectal variation and its linguistic grouping. There are twenty consonant phonemes, six vowel phonemes, nine diphthongs with four contrastive levels of tone at the prosodic level. With or without coda, the place of a nucleus is occupied by a vowel and also by a syllabic nasal that often sits on the first syllable of a disyllable. The present study will be hopefully an insight for those who are studying on the sound systems of other Northeast Indian languages. Like many other community members in Northeast India, the Liangmais are struggling for systematic writing system to represent their language in written form, and the present study will be a supplement to the Liangmai orthography preparation.

The Bodo-Garo group of languages consisting of Kāchārī or Bodo, Lālung (autonym Tiwa), Dīmā-sā, Gārō, Koch, Rābhā, Tipurā (autonym Kokborok), Chutiyā (autonym Deori) and Morān (Grierson 1903) are mainly spoken by about four million people in north-east India.1 BG exhibit systematic processes of formation of causative verbs through prefixation, suffixation and very rarely, infixation. Lexical causative verbs are also employed in these languages whereas periphrastic causatives are found in the form of verb stacking. This study aims at finding out the causative prefixes which co-occur with the root verbs to form their causative counterparts; categorizing the prefixes in terms of their occurrences with certain roots; and, analyzing the environments and linguistic conditioning of the occurrences of the prefixes. This study also discusses several syntactic and semantic features associated with causation.
