Tshangla: My Mother Tongue

Tshangla: Background Though spoken predominantly across the country, Tshangla exists as a primitive language (without a writing system), described it as an unwritten language . Tshangla also known as Sharchopkha (meaning The Language of the Easterners{Eastern Bhutan}) is the major language used in the eastern part of Bhutan, some parts of Arunachal Pradesh (India) and Tibet.  Seemingly, a large population of the Bhutanese use Tshangla . Unfortunately, it is one among the list of the world's endangered languages. Researchers has found that Tshangla is of three typical dialects including Bhutanese Tshangla, West Kemang Tshangla[India] and Pemako Tshangla [Tibet].  The studies done claim that Tshangla is a Sino-Tibetan language of Bodish type. However, it's origination is complex to understand as there is no written record about this language. So  the mystery is, from which part of the world did Tshangla originate?

The Revenant

Image source: http://www.ancient-origins.net/writers-list It has always been difficult for me since I started my college life. In terms of academic performance I am just surviving. Also I have begun losing my interest in the art of writing  –  not because I don’t get time for it but for reasons I may never get to understand. Maybe I just got lost of my track. I have begun losing my interest in reading. Not reading would definitely make writing difficult. During my recent summer vacation I came to understand that I’ve been a bit lazy for the last two years. I have been losing something I might never  be able to recover. So I began thinking I should be getting back into my interests of writing and reading. I am a bad reader. Somebody told me a bad reader is a bad writer. The art of writing begins with the art of reading; just as how well you chop wood would be determined by how good you are at sharpening your axe. From the book I would have ...
