      • Description : This project contains linguistic, musicalogical, ethnographic and other cultural information about three communities in Upper Assam: Singpho, Tai and Tangsa. The recordings and analyses have been done by Stephen Morey, together with Palash Kumar Nath (Gauhati University), Juergen Schoepf (Phonogrammarchiv, Vienna), Meenaxi Barkataki Ruscheweyh (Goettingen Academy of Sciences), Chaichuen Khamdaengyodtai (Rajabhat University, Chiang Mai), Zeenat Tabassum (Gauhati University), Karabi Mazumder (Gauhati University), Krishna Boro (Gauhati University), Paul Hastie (LaTrobe University). The key aims of the project were • to provide a comprehensive documentation of the varieties of Tangsa language spoken in the Margherita Subdivision of Upper Assam, India, • to provide a comprehensive documentation of the traditional songs, and poetry of three endangered language communities in the Margherita Subdivision: the Tangsa and Singpho (both Tibeto-Burman) and the Tai (Tai-Kadai), including a study of Tai traditional manuscripts, which are highly relevant for language and culture maintenance among the Tai. Within each of these communities there is considerable linguistic and cultural diversity, so all the files have been divided up and named according to this system: Tai SDM01 Phake SDM02 Aiton SDM03 Khamyang SDM04 Ahom SDM05 Khamti Singpho SDM07 Turung SDM08 Numhpuk Hkawng SDM09 Diyun Hkawng SDM10 Tieng Hkawng Tangsa SDM11 Youngkuk SDM12 Cholim SDM13 Kimsing SDM14 Tikhak SDM15 Lochhang SDM16 Ngaimong SDM17 Maitai SDM18 Shechhyv SDM19 Mossang SDM20 Khvlak SDM21 Lakkai SDM22 Lungri SDM23 Hakhun SDM24 Lungkhe SDM25 Ronrang SDM26 Sangte SDM27 Sangwal SDM28 Halang SDM29 Haseng SDM30 Morang SDM31 Moklum

          • Description : Moshang is a variety of Tangsa spoken in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and in Burma. Moshang is one of the Pangwa Tangsa groups within India. Other Tangsa groups have different names for the Moshang and the 'general name' is Mossang. In the orthography developed by Rev. Gam Win and others, the name of the variety is spelled Muexshaungx (where-x stands for a mid (level) tone). Moshang recordings in this archive have the code nst-mos as the first element of their names. This coding contains the ISO639-3 code for all Tangsa languages (nst), in combination with an informal code for the Tangsa variety. Prior to 16th February 2012, our Moshang recordings were named with the code SDM19. Tangsa is the name given in India to groups in both Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh and in Assam speaking languages of the Northern Naga also known as Konyak group within the Tibeto-Burman language family. There is very considerable linguistic variety within Tangsa., and some of the languages included within Tangsa are linguistically closer to Nocte than to other varieties within Tangsa. The ethnologue code for Tangsa is NST. It is termed Naga-Tase in the Ethnologue. The word Tase is the Chamchang (General name Kimsing) pronunciation of the word Tangsa and was adopted by ISO639-3 because Chamchang was the first variety to have a Christian Bible translation and thus was listed in the Ethnologue. There are a large number of Moshang villages in Arunachal Pradesh: Renuk, Chumpan, Tengman, Hedman, Barsatam, Sasoon, Ranghill, Headlong, Lingok (near Manmau), Febiro I, Febiro II, Therangkan, Khamkhai (near Nampong), Namphuk (near Balinong) and Namphai (near Miao), as well as a few families at Kharangkong in Assam, where, however, most people now speak Singpho rather than Moshang. The Moshang variety is nearly the same as Lungphi. Moshang is the variety chosen as the church language by the Hawa Naga Revival Church, based in Burma (Myanmar).

          • Description : Lochhang is a variety of Tangsa spoken in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and in Burma. Lochhang is one of the Pangwa Tangsa groups within India.

This coding contains the ISO639-3 code for all Tangsa languages (nst), in combination with an informal code for the Tangsa variety. Prior to 16th February 2012, our Lochhang recordings were named with the code SDM15. Tangsa is the name given in India to groups in both Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh and in Assam speaking languages of the Northern Naga also known as Konyak group within the Tibeto-Burman language family.

There are Lochhang people in the villages of Hewe Ninggam and Kharang Kong in Assam, and Jengpathar, Longtom, Ongman, Nalong and Febiro 1 in the Kharsang area of Changlang District, Arunachal Pradesh. The Lochhang variety is most similar to Chamchang (general name Kimsing) and Shechhue (general name Shangke). Most other Tangsa speakers find Lochhang difficult to understand.
