Looking forward to reading more about Naga languages including Nagamese. I wish there was a Nagamese phrase book available! That would make it much easier to learn!
Nice work!
Its a nice thing to know that people like you are appreciating the beauty of Naga language. Keep up the good work.
Reached here while I was searching for Naga language. Instantly knew this has to be a blog by a JNUite. My sister is one too
Spanish language is her domain.
Keep blogging.
