In Vol. 1, Part III, of the Bulletin (pp. 1 ff.) Mr. Grant Brown has given a valuable account of the Kadus of Burma, and, after comparing their speech with several other cognate Tibeto-Burman languages, has been unable to fix its exact classification. Perhaps the following notes may help to decide the question.
page 39 note 1 The Meitheis, Nutt, David, 1908Google Scholar; The Naga Tribes of Manipur, Macmillan, , 1911.Google Scholar The former book gives much information regarding the Lui tribes.
page 39 note 2 On p. 13 will be found an account of the Lūi tribe.
page 41 note 1 There are cases on record in which a Nāgā colony which migrated to an isolated hill, in two generations spoke a language that was unintelligible to members of the parent tribe. Even in the case of Meit'ei, a literary language, the ancient speech, preserved in manuscripts, is unintelligible to speakers of the Meit'ei of the present day. A good specimen of the same story told both in ancient and in modern Meit'ei will be found in MrHodson's, Meitheis (pp. 188 ff.).Google Scholar No resemblance can be seen between the two dialects.
