WELCOME TO

Tagin Language Research and Development Society

The Tagin language, spoken by the Tagin tribe in Arunachal Pradesh's Upper Subansiri district, is a Sino-Tibetan language tied closely to their oral traditions and culture. Historically oral, the language adopted a Roman-script writing system called Paadam Siti post-1953; however, it lacks specific characters for essential Tagin phonetic sounds like V and W.

The Tagin language is an important symbol of the identity and heritage of the Tagin people. It helps preserve:

  • Traditional customs and beliefs
  • Folk tales and legends
  • Oral history
  • Indigenous ecological knowledge
