Research Project 1: A Multilingual Dictionary of Bodo-Dimasa-Kokborok-English
A major comparative lexicographical initiative compiling shared vocabulary, cognate roots, and semantic equivalents.
Undertaken by the School of Bodo Language, Literature and Translation Studies, this landmark lexicographical project compiles a comprehensive comparative dictionary connecting four major languages:
- Bodo: The major indigenous Tibeto-Burman language of Assam and the Northeast.
- Dimasa: Historically sister language spoken predominantly in the Dima Hasao and Karbi Anglong districts.
- Kokborok: The indigenous language of the Borok people of Tripura, sharing close structural ties with Bodo.
- English: Providing standard international semantic glosses, phonemic transcriptions, and grammatical categorization.
This project will serve as an essential academic tool for comparative linguistics, educational curricula, and cross-community cohesion.
