This project seeks to study the complex and under-researched linguistic diversity of the newly opening India–Myanmar borders. The Tangsa Wihu song-cycle is a ritual and poetic tradition common to people in a very linguistically diverse community situated in the India–Myanmar border region. This project plans to study this song-cycle, which was traditionally performed over many hours and days, examining the linguistic, historical and musicological features of the song in its various contexts. The rich and complex linguistic diversity of Tangsa is shining a light on traditional patterns of human linguistic and social development, and this detailed study is expected to enhance our knowledge of the linguistic and cultural diversity of India and Myanmar.

该项目旨在研究新开放的印度-缅甸边界的复杂和研究不足的语言多样性。Tangsa Wihu歌曲循环是位于印度-缅甸边境地区的一个语言非常多样化的社区的人们共同的仪式和诗歌传统。该项目计划研究这首传统上要在许多小时和几天内演唱的歌曲，研究歌曲在不同背景下的语言，历史和音乐学特征。唐萨丰富而复杂的语言多样性照亮了人类语言和社会发展的传统模式，这项详细的研究有望增进我们对印度和缅甸语言和文化多样性的了解。
