Note 1 — FOLK-TALES AND SONGS
Reading edition
Sir George Grierson, in his Linguistic Survey of India, places1 the Lhota language in the central sub-group of Naga languages, together with Ao, Tangsa,2 Thukumi3 and Yachumi. The Lhotas have no script of their own, though they have a tradition that they once possessed skins with writing on them. Being hungry they ate the skins and have been illiterate savages ever since.4
