Our project is about traditional songs of three communities of Upper Assam, India: The Singpho, Tai and Tangsa.

Our project has two key aims:

• to provide a comprehensive documentation of the varieties of Tangsa
  language spoken in the Margherita Subdivision of Upper Assam, India,
  and as much as possible into the neighbouring Changlang District of
  Arunachal Pradesh
• to provide a comprehensive documentation of
  the traditional songs, and poetry of the Singpho and Tangsa (both
  Tibeto-Burman languages) and the Tai (Tai-Kadai), including a study of
  Tai traditional manuscripts, which are highly relevant for language and
  culture maintenance among the Tai.
