Apart from giving descriptive analysis of Juang (a Munda language of the Austro-Asiatic family) and the impact of its contact with Indo-Aryan, the present collection has portrayed the linguistic picture of some Indo-Aryan speaking tribal and semitribal communities, viz., Hill Kharia, Lodha, Mal-Pahariya, Bhuyan and Pahariya, which have been undergoing aryanisation through their symbiotic relationship with the people of the sanskritic culture.
As these studies have direct bearing on the researches in the field of Austro-Asiatic and Indo- Aryan linguistics and relevance for the problem of tribal accul- turation, linguists as well as an- thropologists will find this book useful in their respective fields.
His field of study: tribal lan- guage, inter-tribal communication, sociolinguistics.
