A Collection of Kachári Folk-Tales and Rhymes

A compact field collection of Kachári folk‑stories and rhymes presented in original orthography with transliteration and rough English translations, compiled as a reading supplement for learners of the language. It assembles myths, animal tales, songs, and short narratives recorded during brief fieldwork, and pairs those texts with linguistic commentary on vowel marking, agglutinate verbs, and the surprising syntactic affinity between Kachári and Assamese. An interlinear example of a spoken statement in both languages, notes on transcription choices and local speech habits, and acknowledgements of informants complete the volume, which aims to provide accessible material for language study and further folklore research.
