THE KORO LANGUAGE
(0) Researchers (research) have identified a language new to science in north-eastern India. Known as Koro, it appears to be distinct from other languages in the family to which it belongs; but it is also under threat.
A team of (1) (science) were searching for two other little-known languages (2) (speak) only in one small area. As they heard and recorded these, they found a third which was (3) (complete) new to them and had never before been listed. "We didn't have to get far on our word list to realise it was extremely (4) (differ) in every possible way," said Dr David Harrison, one of the expedition (5) (lead).
Koro belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family, which includes around 150 languages. But linguists were (6) (able) to find any others closely related to Koro within this group. It is thought that around half of the world's 6,909 known languages are endangered and Koro itself is at (7) (risk). It has never been written down and there are only about 1,000 speakers of it.
The question is where it came from and how it remained (8) (hide) until now.
The team will be returning to India next month to continue their research on Koro.
