Northeast India consists of seven sisters, namely Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. This ethnopolitical region is diverse with approximately 225 tribes and approximately 220 languages (according to the 1971 census of India). The Tibeto-Burman group has large numbers of Languages and is spread throughout all seven states of Northeast India. Khasi, Kol, Munda, Santal etc. are Austric group of languages and are mainly spoken in Meghalaya and Assam. Ahom, Phake, Turung, Khamyang etc. belongs to the Tai Kadai group of languages and spoken mainly in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Most of the languages are spoken by fewer people and not used in intercommunity interactions because of their lack of mutual understanding. The recent phenomenon is, most of the languages of the world are under threat. This means languages need to be changed with the transformation. If the community language lacks the ability to communicate, if the language is not used in education, not used in new domains, then people are compelled to use dominant languages for their education, wider interactions and for better opportunities. Thus, the use of an effective dominant language gets more power and the native one gradually becomes weaker. This process may reduce the ecological balance.
