why do Manipur Nagas use Meiteilon as a common language within their tribe instead of adopting Nagamese (their ancestral language) ?
I understand that Manipur Nagas speaks different languages/dialects but what I don’t understand is them using Meteilon as a common language instead of Nagamese, I’m not saying they shouldn’t speak Meiteilon but at least within their community doesn’t it make more sense to adopt or practice their own ancestral language instead of adopting other communities language? or better yet learn each other local languages and preserve it
