- Abstract
Along with a brief historical account of the Misings, an Indo-Mongoloid group of people, this paper attempts at a study of the existence of adjective as separate category or word class in the language spoken by them. There may be a historical explanation for the existence of a small number of words that may be used as adjective in Mising, as in Tibeto-Burman languages, adjective as a distinct word class has not been universally attached. This article mainly presents a brief discussion of the core adjectives in Mising, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Assam, India. In doing so, it seeks to present a description of the adjectival expressions in Mising by analyzing the adjectivals in terms of the generalizations drawn in relation to Tibeto-Burman languages in general.
