Atong is spoken by an uncounted number of people, perhaps numbering in the several thousands, in the South Garo Hills district, in scattered settlements in the south-central Meghālaya north of the town of Bāghmārā. | Publication Type: | Review | Source of Publication: | Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics, 3(2), p. 231-232 | Publisher: | De Gruyter Mouton | Place of Publication: | Germany | ISSN: | 2196-078X 2196-0771 |
