Language, Culture, and Translation of the Karbi: A Brief Study

Serdihun Beypi and Sivasish Biswas

Abstract—The study of Culture, language, and translation is a world phenomenon, and studying the relationship between them is very important. The relationship between them can be achieved through the process of translation, because in translation, one not only has to translate language but also has to translate culture. So, Translation is both linguistic and cultural activity. Besides this, languages with different culture and the necessity to communicate with the others has made translation the need of the hour. In this paper I will deal with a brief study of the culture and language of the ‘Karbis’ and talk about some barriers in the process of translating the source language(SL) text to that of target language(TL) text.

Index Terms—Jambili athon, culture, chomangkan (deathfestival), language, lam-lir (refine language), translation.
