Product Description

The People's Linguistic Survey of India provides an overview of the extant and dying languages of India, as perceived by their speakers. It is the culmination of a nation-wide survey of languages, documented by linguists, writers, social activists and, most importantly, members of different speech communities. The work chronicles the evolution of these languages until 2011, and incorporates their socio-political and cultural dimensions. Critically, it encapsulates the world view of the speakers of the languages. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands provides a unique canvas for studying its languages: both because of its indigenous peopling, and its immigrant demography. Unlike mainland India or any states of India, the ethnic spatialisation of the Islands reflects its plurality with a difference. In this second volume of the People's Linguistic Survey of India, the languages of Andaman and Nicobar Islands are discussed in detail, their linguistic features are examined, and the number of speakers listed. Folktales, folk songs, origin myths and vocabulary lists are also provided.
