| Summary, etc | When a language is likely to become extinct it is called an endangered language. It is a serious concern for any society. Language spoken by the Tai-Phake of Assam is designated as one of the endangered languages in India. This language is at a risk of falling out of use because it has a smaller number of speakers at present. For sake of present study adult Tai-Phake of four villages (Ningam, Long Phake, Phaneng and Bor Phake) of Tinsukia district, Assam were selected randomly. A total of 405 adult Tai-Phake were studied. Data were examined according to different generations. Number of subjects gradually decreases from generations 3 to 1. More than 91 percent respondents were born in own village. Language self-assessment diminishes from generations 1 to 3. It reveals that process of modernization is playing an important role in different spheres of life of older and new generation of the study population. There exists a fear that this language is likely to become extinct near future. In view of this they have started arranging night classes at village level for the children particularly though it is in initial stage. To arrest becoming extinct of Tai-Phake language thus the local people must play an important role. -Reproduce https://serialsjournals.com/abstract/15466_2-dipak_adak.pdf |
