Let’s talk about the Hajong Language. Hajong Language: The Hajong language is primarily spoken by the Hajong people in Northeast India, particularly in the states of Meghalaya and Assam, as well as parts of northern Bangladesh. Though classified as an Indo-Aryan language, linguists such as Grierson and Masica have proposed that it is a Tibeto-Burman-based creole. Hajong shares some similarities with Assamese and Bengali, the two major Indo-Aryan languages of the region. At the same time, it exhibits grammatical features found in neighboring Tibeto-Burman languages. A distinctive phonological trait of Hajong is the inclusion of an additional close back unrounded vowel /ɯ/, absent in other Indo-Aryan languages but typical in Tibeto-Burman ones. According to one hypothesis, the language may have originated from a Sino-Tibetan base and was later relexified by Old Bengali. Currently, Hajong is written using both the Latin and Bengali-Assamese scripts. Each writing system includes a unique character specifically designed to represent the extra vowel sound /ɯ/. Hajong People and Culture: The Hajongs are an agrarian community, and most of their cultural practices, folklore, and traditions are deeply tied to agriculture. Hajong women are easily recognized by their brightly striped red garment, the Pathin, and large, geometric shawls called Agrun. Weaving is a key part of household work, and women are often seen weaving or wearing traditional attire. This reflects their commitment to preserving cultural values. Traditionally, weaving was considered an essential skill for maidens before marriage, though this practice is less common today due to Western influence. Hajong women of all ages wear traditional silver jewelry, along with ornaments made from gold, coral, ivory, and conch shells. The Hajongs are predominantly Hindu, and their religious customs blend Hinduism with traditional animistic beliefs, forming a syncretic faith. Pusnw, celebrated at the end of winter, is one of their major festivals, during which rice cakes are prepared using rice flour, coconut, banana, and jaggery. Bastu Pujw is another major festival celebrated by the Hajongs, during which rice beer is consumed and sacrificial animals are offered and eaten. The staple food of the Hajongs is rice, accompanied by side dishes made of meat and vegetables, often cooked with alkali and rice flour.
