it will be of immense benefit if we can have a comparative positioning of the moghul rulers,rule by various kings of others kachari,chutias,kalitas,kamatapur kins and all others in the eastern part of india and also the bhuyans,including Shri Shri SANKARDEV andothers like his ancestors Chandibar to have comparative study of the religious faith ,specially the neo vaisnavite movement so interlinked with the cultural movement and its progression

I read about the great site in Assam Tribune. Please accept my heartiest congratulaion
for opening the website. It will facilitate Southeast Asia to know all about Tai Ahom in
Assam in partticular and and the rest of the country and world in general.
I have received a mail from Chatthip Nartsupha informing me that A Study of Ahom
History in Thai is under compilation with Associate Professor Renoo Wichasin which
will be out in 2-3 months time, and I hope to get a copy..
If your rep meets me in Guwahati he can have a look at the books suitable for your
library whcih I would love to donate.

Editor’s Introduction, page Lxxxv,ASSAM BURANJI, 1945,old manuscript obtained in the family of Sukumar Mahanta, : QUOTE “…if our countrymen want to revive the best that is in their traits,
and to draw inspiration from the glories of the past, they should read this Buranji with the
zeal and devotion as Englioshmen read PILGRIM’S PROGRESS of John Bunyan, and the
Chinesee the SHU KING of Kong-fu-tse.”

The Institute of Tai Studies and Research is the only institute where one can learn Tai Ahom language. All those who are interested to learn Tai Ahom language can visit the institute to get the required details. For those of you who are unable to visit the institute and are interested in learning Tai Ahom language can check the forum where there is a new topic named “Tai Ahom language class”.

Please refer to Nang Ye Hom Buragohain’s article on REDISCOVERING AHOM LANGUAGE DURING BRITISH RULE published by PURBANCHAL TAI SAHITYA SABHA, 28th bi-annual conference held in Khumtai. It says about the Ahom language classes started on 1st April 1931 by Dr. Suryya Kumar
Bhuyan the then Honorary Assistant Director of Department of Historical and Antiquarian Studies
in Guwahati. Nandanath Deodhai Phukan, eminent scholar on Ahom language, was engaged as the teacher. Classes were started for six months course at the old Earl Law College through the courtesy of the then Principal of the E. Law College J.N.Barua with eleven students- Anandaram Gohain, Umanath Gohain, Basudev Mishra, Madhavchandra Barooah, Madhavchandra Bezbarua, Rameswar Bora, Purnananda Chetia, Kusum Kumar Phukan, Ganganath Phukan, Sashikanta Sarma, Krishnanath Sarma. Dr. Suryya Kumar Bhuyan joined also the classes to learn Ahom language.
Deprtment has the vast collection of manuscripts in Ahom language on history and other subjects.

i am very glad to know that a lot of people are willing to learn tai language. it is our duty to preserve our language and culture. i hope that no. of tai language learners will increase soon and people will understand its value.After all , it is our own.

To spread and make tai language popular, we think this institution should also make CALENDERS in tai language with english translation ,small leaflet books,new year card, birthday card in tai language. PEOPLE SHOULD SPEAK THOSE POPULAR AND SWEET SENTENCES OF TAI LANGUAGE.Also common sentences, how r u? where r u? etc. . Once these words is implanted in people’s minds, tai language will again come to our tongue automatically. who knows , tai language may again be our speaking language.

Tai language seems dead like Latin or Greek… But let us try to make it alive again. The Ahoms are alive.. we can definetly awake our dormant language.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:36 am
@Pallavi – For admission into the tai-ahom language class,you need to visit the institute.You will get all the required information there.Classes are held every saturday.People ranging from various age-groups are learning Tai-Ahom language in the Institute.Do let me know if you require more into-depth details.
@Rajan Barua-Tai language is divided into six various types-1.Ahom, 2.Aiton, 3.Khamti, 4.Phake, 5.Khamyang and 6.Turung. If you are interested in learning Tai Ahom language,then there are no correspondence courses for Tai-Ahom language.But,the good news is that Dr.Stephen Morey from La Trobe University have recently launched an online Ahom dictionary,through which you will be able to understand the meaning.The link of that site is available in the article “Online Tai Ahom DIctionary” of this site. Apart from that,you can check the posts “Tai Ahom Language Class”in the FORUM secton of this site,where I’ve uploaded the list of tai-ahom words along with the assamese meanings.Pls do visit the forum section of the site for regular updates from 23rd jan,2010.

I have today received a copy of Studies of Assam History in Thai language from Professor
Chatthip Nartsupha. He has authored in association with Professor Renu Wichasin. Book has
exhaustive bibiliography wherefrom I can make out that all available sources of Ahom history
have received their attention. There are photographs of the historians of Assam whom they
met and also of Sir Edward Gait, Dr. Suryya KLumar Bhuyajn and Dr Padmeswart Gogoi
150 pages book include 12 pages of photographs. Anyone interested to look at the book can
contact me at 30 Dr S K Bhuyan Road, Guwahati, 781001. I hope that I shall be able to
meet someone who can read Thai. This is perhaps first time
Ahom History has been written in present days in Thai and it will reunite the age old
relationship between two neighbours. I am looking forward to the day when the book
will be translated into English and Assamese. A lady from Dibrugarh called me referring
about the book, she can note the foregoing.

Is it not possible to make mandatory for the Tai Communities living in Assam to learn the tai language from shool onwards.
July 14th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Good thing to get started to know about the Tai Ahom period of 1228 AD to 1826AD. The Tai writings should be translated to other languages ans especially in English, Latin. Seek funds from pilantropic bodies,ICCR,UNESCO, Govt. agencies. Hope for the best
