The Tani Language Foundation (TLF)[1] is a non-profit organization working to preserve and revitalize the Tani languages, spoken by indigenous communities in Arunachal Pradesh & Assam, India and by the Lhoba people[2][3] in China.
It was established by Mingkeng Lego (Luke Rimmo Lego) [4] to focus on language documentation, script development, and educational outreach to promote linguistic and cultural heritage.[5][6]
The Tani languages are a group of closely related languages spoken by the Tani people in northeastern India, primarily in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.[7][8] These languages belong to the Sino-Tibetan family and include several major dialects such as Nyishi, Galo, Apatani, Adi, Tagin, and Mising.[9][10]
TLF collaborates with institutions like the Living Tongues Foundation to develop a "living dictionary" and works on creating a standardized script for Tani languages.[11] The foundation also organizes workshops, publishes linguistic studies, and engages communities through cultural events.[12][13]
