Introduction: Bangru is the Tibeto-Burman language speech community who confined to Sarli circle of Kurung Kumey districts of central Arunachal Pradesh. Special type of indigenous knowledge on housing pattern and food habit was explored in theīangru community, which correspond to the severe dependence on forest resources.

This exploratory study was conducted on the forest dependency nature of the BangruĬommunity of Arunachal Pradesh by highlighting their indigenous knowledge of housing Ethnic language, on the other hand, was preferred for purely symbolic reasons (symbolizing a group's ethnic identity). Hindi and English were reported as very important for education, economic privileges and social interaction. Results suggest that while a positive attitude played a significant role in learning Hindi and English among some of the groups under investigation, it proved to be of no help in maintaining the ethnic language. A questionnaire was used to collect data on language preference, language parents prefer their children to learn, and reasons for language preference. The total population of Bangru mother-tongue speakers is numbers about 1,023 (39.35%) out of approximately 2,600 persons in the Sarli circle Although there is no separate Census record on this community, however, according to the data gathered, the Bangru account for about 1.14% of the total population of Kurung Kumey district. Bangru, an unclassified language cluster is spoken mainly in about 15 Bangru villages of Sarli circle in Kurung Kumey district, a northernmost frontier district bordering Tibet (China) in the northeast Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. This paper investigates the language attitudes among Bangru in Arunachal Pradesh, an ethnically and linguistically diverse state in the northeastern region of India.
