Zahkring (also Eastern Mishmi or Zaiwa; known as Meyor in India and Zha (Zhahua 扎话) in China) is a language of Arunachal Pradesh and 3 villages in Tibet.[2]
Zakhring has been classified as a Midzuish language.[3] Blench and Post (2011) consider Zakhring to be an East Bodish language that has been influenced by Midzu (which they classify as a language isolate) or other divergent languages of the region.[4] In 2015, Blench suggests that Zakhring may be a language isolate.[5] Blench argues that Zakhring had borrowed heavily from Midzu and Tibetic, and then later borrowed from Naga languages and Jingpho as well.
Li and Jiang (2001)[2] reports that the Zakhring have no actual autonym, but are referred to by the neighboring Taraon, Kaman language, Idu, and Tibetan peoples by various names.
tɕa31kʰreŋ55 (Taraon exonym)
tɕa31kʰɹɯn55 (Kaman exonym)
tsa35tɕoŋ55 (Tibetan exonym)
mi31si55pu53 (Idu exonym; the Idu are located in Upper Zayü Township, 上察隅乡)
According to Li and Jiang (2001), the Kaman exonym for the Tibetan people of Bomi County (波密县) is si31dut55pu55. The Taraon refer to the Tibetans as la31ma35, while the Kaman refer to the Tibetans as de31loŋ55.
Distributionedit
In China, Zakhring is spoken in Songgu (松古村), Lading (拉丁村), and Tama (塔玛村) villages in Lower Zayü Township (下察隅乡), Zayü County (察隅县), Tibet.[2]
In India, Meyor communities are found in the following 15 villages of Kibthoo Circle and Walong Circle of Anjaw District, Arunachal Pradesh. The total population of the villages numbered 376 as of May 2001.[7]
