The Misings and the Question of Adjectives in Mising

Sarat Kumar Doley, M.A., Ph.D. Candidate

Abstract

In Tibeto-Burman languages, adjective as a distinct word class has not been universally attached. This article mainly presents a brief discussion of core the adjectives in Mising, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Assam, India. In doing so, it seeks to present a description of the adjectival expressions in Mising by analyzing the adjectivals in terms of the generalizations drawn in relation to Tibeto-Burman languages in general.

Introduction: The Misings

The Misings, an Indo-Mongoloid group of people, live in the eastern region of the Brahmaputra valley in Assam, India, with habitations scattered now in eight districts of the state, viz. Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Sibsager, Jorhat, Golaghat and Sonitpur. They migrated from the eastern Himalayan regions in Tibet in the hoary past and finally settled in the fertile Brahmaputra valley in Assam after having lived for centuries together in the Siang valley of present-day Arunachal Pradesh
