Language
Lhoba tribespeople living in Chinese Tibet speak at least three mutually-unintelligible Tibeto-Burman languages: Idu Mishmi of the Digaro Family, Bokar (Adi) of the Eastern Tani branch, and Na (Bengni) of the Western Tani branch. These languages are far more widely spoken in Arunachal Pradesh.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“We might hypothetically possess ourselves of every technological resource on the North American continent, but as long as our language is inadequate, our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling are still running in the old cycles, our process may be “revolutionary” but not transformative.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to.... The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
