Our Purpose
The Lamkang Language Resource is meant for all those interested in learning more about the Lamkang people, their language, and culture. It provides native speakers with links to information they can use to create materials for language teaching including information on all levels of language structure such as the sounds of Lamkang, spelling conventions, sentences and words.
The Lamkang Language Resource also aims to help speakers share traditions of storytelling, song, dance, costumes, and other linguistic cultural events. This site provides speakers instructions and links to the Searchable Archive of Annotated Lamkang Texts housed at the University of North Texas Digital Library. These annotated texts with accompanying sound files and aligned transcriptions will be accessible from the UNT digital library. The Lamkang Language Resource welcomes all comments and suggestions on any aspects of this website or the archive.
The contents of this website were made possible by generous giving of time and talents by Beshot Khullar, Shekarnong Sankhil, Daniel Tholung, and Rex Khullar, Kumar, and Sumshot Khular. Major contributions of still and video documentation of traditional Lamkang songs and dances are from Daniel Tholung. Major contributions of video of narrative events are from Rex Khullar and Harimohon Thounaojam. We are also grateful for continued correspondence, support, and materials shared from the literacy group of SIL and the work they have done with the Lamkang Language Education Committee and the Lamkang Literature Society and under whose guidance a collection of children's stories, dictionary, and folktales have been produced.
