Misrepresentation

[edit]

The term Amri denotes a state under elsewhere Karbi Kingdom (roughly present Karbi Anglong district and south of Nagaon district). The Amri, Chinthong and Ronghang were three states. It was a socio-political group within Karbis of Karbi Kingdom. So slightly different in their respective languages. So categorised as dialects. But Amri doesn't amount high deference as quoted in the article.

Dumra (or Dimoria or dimoruah) was another sovereign Karbi Kingdom (roughly present Kamrup metro and Ri-Bhoi district). There have been long political and social gap between Karbis of Karbi Kingdom and Dumra Kingdom .So there exists reasonable lexical difference between the languages of the two Kingdoms. Dumra is also known as plains Karbi. However few peoples of Dumra believes that they are originally from Amri state of Karbi Kingdom and so manipulating every aspects as "Amri" instead of "Dumra". It is manipulation of history creating confusion which is actual Amri dialect. The Karbi Lammet Amei (literal organisation and authority for Karbi language) has not recognised "Amri" dialect from Dumra Kingdom. The organisation has instead coined as "Dumra". Refer latest grammar of Karbi language published by KLA and written by Linda Konerth of Oregon university. Sarthe2k3 (talk) 04:05, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
