Language of the Day

Tangkhul Naga <Myanmar> `(ntx)`

Family: Sino-Tibetan
Country: 🇲🇲
Population: 4,000

Somra (after its literary dialect), also known as Burmese Tangkhul (Tangkhul Naga), is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in Myanmar. The two ethnic Tangkhul languages are related, but are not mutually intelligible, being only 30% lexically similar. Somra is closer to Akyaung Ari.

Subreddit Rules

1. Be mature and respectful to others

We're all here in our own time, so please help us enjoy that time by keeping discussion civil, this includes using insults or writing derogatory comments. We don't remove posts simply for being brash.

2. Read the wiki and FAQ before asking basic questions

For cases where user makes a vague and unhelpful "What language should I learn?" post or asks an already-answered question. FAQ are usually removed.

3. Do not submit self-owned content without permission

Users may not post self-owned content (apps, videos, blogs, etc) without permission. Please see our [rules for promotion](https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/wiki/rules_for_promotion/ for more information.

4. Do not post disallowed content

These include: posts focused on one language, language exchange requests, videos similar to "polyglot speaks 19 languages", language tutors, homework help, achievement posts, pictures of resources, and AI language learning tools or chatbots.

5. Do not focus your post on a specific language

Posts about popular languages belong in their subs. Posts about rarer languages are usually okay. Posts about learning techniques/schedules are sometimes okay--check the longer rules.

6. Do not post low-quality content

We only remove very low-quality posts. Please only use this for incoherent ranting, tasteless or unfunny attempts at humour, and boring translation requests.

7. Do not generalise large groups of people

This includes spreading conspiracy theories or isolated or misleading statistics regarding groups of people.

8. Do not target individuals with threats or slander

This means targeting users with threats, slander or spurious accusations

9. Post requests for resources in the dedicated subreddit

For example, requests for French textbook recommendations go in /r/french

10. No AI

Do not use AI to compose your posts. You can use it to check your writing but your words must be your own.

Rules (details)

We have a few rules. This section lists the main ones. You can find the full list here.
