The North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS) is a linguistics society that focuses on the languages and linguistics of Northeast India. NEILS focuses primarily on the Tibeto-Burman languages of the region, as well as the Khasian languages and some Indo-Aryan languages.[1]

History

[edit]

In 2005, the North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS) was founded by Jyotiprakash Tamuli (Gauhati University), Stephen Morey (La Trobe University), and Mark W. Post (currently at the University of Sydney).[2][3]

Conferences

[edit]

From 2007 to 2012, NEILS conferences were held annually, and then afterwards biannually starting from 2014. The conferences are usually held in Assam during the months of January or February.[3]

The first NEILS meeting was held at the Phanidar Dutta Seminar Hall at Gauhati University from February 6–7, 2006.[2] Subsequently, most conferences were held at the Don Bosco Institute (Don Bosco College of Engineering & Technology), Guwahati.
