MEHR ZU SPRACHBESTÄNDIGKEIT

The language is used at home and in community social gatherings and religious ceremonies.

SPRECHEREINSTELLUNG

The Aiton speak their language with family and community members, and generally Assamese with others. They are very conscious about their language, culture, and traditions which they try to pass on to the younger generations. Few Tai monks know the language anymore, so they can no longer teach it to young monks.

UNTERSTÜTZUNG DER REGIERUNG

Recognized by the Indian government as a Scheduled Tribe (Hill), and as Man-Tai speaking by the Assam government

Rechtschreibung

Few people are literate in the traditional Tai writing system, which was brought when they migrated to Assam. Literacy in other languages is 85-90%, and Assamese and English words are borrowed.

ORTE: The original homeland of the Aiton was the Aiton district of the Upper Chindwin Valley of Myanmar, and they migrated to Assam sometime in the 16th-17th century. The Tai Aiton presently live in the villages of Golaghat and Karbi Anglong districts in the Upper Assam, along with the Turung people.
