	Kokborok language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kokborok was relegated to a common people's dialect during the rule of the Tripuri Kings in the Kingdom of Tripura, in contrast to Bengali language, from the period of the 14th century till the 20th century.
		Kokborok got recognised as an official language of Tripura state only in 1979 AD and is being now considered for recognition as a National language of India.
		Kokborok is a Tibeto-Burman language falling under the Sino-Tibetan language family of East Asia and South East Asia.

		It seems that the Kokborok had its scripts, but lost in the ocean of times as it is mentioned in the Rajmala that originally the Rajmala was written in Tripuri language.
		The Kokborok language varies little in dialect from region to region, clan to clan and area to area as any other language of the world.
		Kokborok was very rich in folk songs, even before the written form of songs, poem had been started.

		The veteran artist's only regret as a septuagenarian is that he did not learn tribal 'Kokborok' language ;nor did he pay attention to composing dramas and songs in that language for a 'cultural synthesis'.
		The rulers of Tripura in the fifties and sixties failed to foresee that tribals were a separate group of people with distinctive culture, identity and tradition and they would also emerge as a full-grown nationality.
		I have already started learning kokborok from tribal students who live near my house and you will be glad to know that even at this time of ethnic mistrust and division a group of twenty tribal students approached me to become director of their drama group called 'Tapang Hukumu Buthuk'.

		The language of Tripuras (Kokborok) belongs to the Bodo group, which has its origin in the Assam branch of the Tibeto-Burma language under the Sino-Tibetan family.
		The script of the Tripura language has some similarities with that of the Chakma language but although the alphabet appears to be similar, the two languages differ very much in pronunciation and the reading procedure.
		Kokborok was widely used in writing letters, demonstrating magic, and preparing lists of indigenous medicine.

		Kokborok is the second official language of the state.
		The regulation, which was amended by the CPI(M), said the tribal children of the district council areas after completing their primary education would have to go to other educational institutions in different parts of the state for higher studies where the medium of instruction was Bengali.
		But the scenario changed after 1978, when Kokborok was given due recognition by the then Left Front government, led by former chief minister Nripen Chakraborty, as the second official language.

	Central Chronicle--Opinion
		After four decades, there is a chance the Kokborok language could finally, and officially, use the Roman script.
		The biggest casualties in the fight over the Kokborok script are students in schools where the language is taught.
		As a result, the primary and secondary schools of the council areas, which teach Kokborok, are thrown into turmoil because the script, the textbooks and pedagogic strategies change with bewildering regularity - in fact, 16 times in 20 years.

		With the recent reversal to Bengali script for kokborok by the oppositionless TTAADC ‘politics of kokborok’ is set to deepen and further accentuate entrenched animosities between the Tripura Communists and Tripuri intelligentsia.
		It has to be understood in the broader issue of the political process of re-asserting and re-constructing the Meitei’s political identity: A conscious attempt at grounding the way Meitei’s redefine their society and give meaning to their past and their present.
		Bengali script for kokborok is basically a ‘policy of ethnocide’ which dominating communities indulges in every polity: a policy designed to absorb and assimilate the Tripuris into Bengali culture.

		However, the left front government as well as the “Movement for Kokborok”, a newly formed outfit has been fighting for its development for 26 years, since it was recognised officially in 1979.
		Tussles between the state government and tribal intellectuals has loomed large on the issue while the government has been highlighting the role of the left front in extending recognition to Kokborok, the “Movement for Kokborok” has been focusing on the “apathy and lack of far-sightedness” of the left front in its language policy.
		The situation is stagnating as tribal students are now shying away from studying the script of their language, because their schooling begins with Kokborok in the ADC area and then have to switch over to Bengali in class six.

		The influx continued unabated, particularly after the murder of a Mizo forest warden, allegedly by the Bru National Liberation Front.
		Bru leaders also alleged that their cultural practices were being thwarted and that they were being forced to adopt Mizo names and Mizo languages as their medium of instruction, instead of the native Kokborok.

		This again deserves special mention as poetry and translation are two areas being neglected, rather relegated to a position far behind fiction and theoretical and journalistic prose.
