Description
This scholarly work presents a detailed outline grammar of the Singpho language, documenting the linguistic features of this Sino-Tibetan language as spoken by the Singpho people, particularly the Dowanniyas and other communities residing in the Sadiya region of Assam, India.
J. F. Needham’s comprehensive study offers valuable insights into Singpho phonology, morphology, and syntax, serving as an essential reference for linguists, scholars, and students of indigenous languages. The text examines the grammatical structures, verb conjugations, noun declensions, and other linguistic elements characteristic of Singpho speech.
Originally compiled during the colonial period, this work remains an important historical document for understanding the Singpho language and the communities who speak it. It provides comparative linguistic data and ethnographic context for understanding language variation and regional dialects. The grammar serves both academic and practical purposes for those interested in Sino-Tibetan linguistics and Northeast Indian indigenous languages.
