“In the foothills of the Himalayas, two field linguists have uncovered a find as rare as any endangered species—a language completely new to science.The researchers encountered it for the first time along the western ridges of Arunachal Pradesh, India’s northeastern-most state, where more than 120 languages are spoken. There, isolated by craggy slopes and rushing rivers, the hunters and subsistence farmers who speak this rare tongue live in a dozen or so villages of bamboo houses built on stilts.” (WSJ.com)
