KMAN
LANGUAGE, ANTHROPOLOGY and ETHNOSCIENCE
The Kman people are also
known as Miju and Geman. They live in the extreme Northeast of Arunachal
Pradesh, bordering Tibet and Myanmar. Since 2015, I have been working with Sokhep
Kri and the Kman Language Development Committee (KLDC) on a fresh study of
their language and culture. The Kman are a part of the ‘Mishmi’ people, a group
which also includes Tawrã and Idu. The Kman and Tawrã people consider
themselves to have a very close relationship.
