Comments on speakers
A majority of contemporary Milang are fully bilingual in Padam, and those who emigrate from the Milang area typically adopt Padam in preference to Milang. Significant numbers of Milang speak no second language other than Padam (i.e. they do not speak Hindi, Assamese, or English). (pg. 9)

Location Description

There are 3 traditional Milang villages in Aranuchal Pradesh today. "Milang" is the largest of the three, and is the only village connected to the outside world via a vehicle track. "Dalbuing" is the second largest of the Milang villages, situated to the northwest of Milang village, and connected to it via a footpath. The smallest of the Milang villages is "Peki Modi", situated to the Northeast of Milang. Peki Modi is connected to Milang (but not to Dalbuing) only via a challenging mountain footpath. In addition to theses three traditional Milang villages, there are approximately 500 Milang emigrants living primarily in and around Pasighat and Roing, outside of the Milang area. (pg. 4)
