	Austronesian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The Austronesian languages are a language family widely dispersed throughout the islands of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, with a few members spoken on continental Asia.
		On this island the deepest divisions in Austronesian are found, among the families of the native Formosan languages; none of the mainland languages have survived.

	Features- Linguistic matrix in Manipur
		The languages of the dominant non-tribals are being forcibly imposed upon the minority tribals, for instance, Assamese in Assam, Bengali in Tripura and Meiteilon or Manipuri in Manipur state.
		The language problem in Manipur began during the early 1980s when the state government tried to introduce Meiteilon as a compulsory subject in class X. But the issue was settled by keeping Meiteilon as an option for the tribal in lieu of additional English or state’s recognized tribal languages.
		Language has immense social and political implications, and coercion by the dominant community to impose their language could invite political turmoil.
