Oi! Ai mung hongdo Andy. Padi khobor?
Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Tiwa language.

Tiwa (Lalung) Language:
Tiwa, also known as Lalung, is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken by the Tiwa people in parts of Assam and Meghalaya in Northeast India. It belongs to the Sal branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family and shares linguistic features with neighboring Bodo-Garo and other Hill Tibeto-Burman languages. Tiwa exists in two main varieties: Hill Tiwa and Plains Tiwa, with the Hill variety being more conservative and retaining older linguistic features. The language is primarily oral, though there have been efforts in recent years to document and develop a writing system using Roman script. Tiwa is considered endangered due to increasing language shift to Assamese, especially among younger generations.

Tiwa (Lalung) People and Culture:
The Tiwa people, also referred to as Lalung, are an indigenous community primarily residing in the hills of Morigaon, Nagaon, and Kamrup districts of Assam, and parts of Meghalaya. They have a dual identity, with Hill Tiwas maintaining a more traditional tribal lifestyle, while Plains Tiwas have assimilated more into Assamese culture. The Tiwas have a rich cultural heritage marked by vibrant festivals such as Sogra, Yangli, Wanshuwa and Langkhon, traditional music, bamboo crafts, and dance forms. Their society is organized into clans with matrilineal and patrilineal elements depending on the subgroup. The Tiwa people practice a blend of indigenous animist beliefs along with Hinduism, and their rituals and oral traditions play a central role in preserving their identity.
