This site is dedicated to simplify Tanii [language spoken by around 90,000 people at Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, India] writing and speaking, we are working towards creating a writing system that works well with any other languages, especially, English as our current writing system (1997 version) uses almost all English sounds ‘as is’ and does good job in producing accurate Tanii sounds.
We feel that Tanii reading and writing should be made simple and easy for all to learn and use. We are of the opinion that introducing a script without proper research on its applicability, is more detrimental than good for the survival of our language itself. By making it unnecessarily complex we are discouraging our already Hindi/English influenced younger generation from having any interest whatsoever in our own mother tongue.
