Linguistic Heritage

"The Rengmitca language is spoken by the Rengmittsa people. It was first documented in 2009 during a collaborative discussion between linguist David Peterson and members of the Mro community. Prior to this discovery, the existence of the Rengmitca language was unknown. Ethnologue identifies Rengmitca speakers as residing in Myanmar and the southeastern hill tracts of Bangladesh. Following this initial finding, David Peterson conducted further research in Myanmar to explore its presence, but no evidence of the language was found there. This suggests that the southeastern hill tracts of Bangladesh are the primary region where the Rengmitca language is spoken. Only eight people are fluent in Rengmitca, making it one of the most critically endangered languages in Bangladesh. "
