The People’s Linguistic Survey of India provides an overview of the extant and dying languages of India, as perceived by their speakers. It is the culmination of a nation-wide survey of languages, documented by linguists, writers, social activists and, most importantly, members of different speech communities. The work chronicles the evolution of these languages until 2011, and incorporates their socio-political and cultural dimensions. Critically, it encapsulates the world view of the speakers of the languages.

This volume attempts to bring to the reader the wealth of languages of Nagaland and contextualises them within contemporary linguistics. The languages surveyed are: a) Tenyidie group of languages and (b) Other Naga languages, such as Ao, Konyak, Phom, etc. The content of the survey is based entirely on structural bases, mainly, phonology, morphology and syntax. In an attempt to document these varieties of languages, this volume aspires to preserve the languages spoken in the state of Nagaland in this globalised world.

G. N. Devy is the chief editor of the PLSI series. He taught at the Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, till 1996 before leaving to set up the Bhasha Research Centre in Baroda and the Adivasi Akademi at Tejgadh. There, he worked towards conserving and promoting the languages and culture of indigenous and nomadic communities. Apart from being awarded the Padma Shri, he has received many awards for his work in literature and language conservation.

Duovituo Kuolie is Professor and Head, Department of Linguistics and Tenydie, Nagaland University. He is also the recipient of the Sahitya Akademi’s Bhasha Samman Award and the Governor’s (Nagaland) award.
