(b): As informed by Central Institute of Indian Languages, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education that languages spoken by the Scheduled Tribes (STs) are considered 'tribal languages'. However, the tribal languages can be categorized according to language family-wise, i.e. Indo-Aryan, Tibeto Burman, Austro-Asiatic, Dravidian & Andamanese and then State/UT-wise.

- (c): As per Central Institute of Indian Languages, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, there is no information available in this regard.

In  Manipur,  different  Manipuri,  Kuki  (Zomi  group  of  languages)  and  Naga  languages  (Liangmai, Thangkhul, Maram, Mao, Rongmei, etc.) are used.

In Mizoram, there are so many tribal languages that are used as home or local languages; whereas, Mizo and English have been used as their lingua francas.

In Tripura, Kokborok and its varieties, a few Kuki languages are used. As dominated by Bengali, it is used as the major lingua franca of the state.

In Meghalaya, speaking tribes of Khasian languages/varieties such as Khasi, Pnar, War, Maram, Lyngam, etc.,  mostly use Khasi; the Bodo-Garo group of tribes use Garo and Bodo; whereas, English is also used interlingually.
