Many of these languages have not been adequately described in the light of latest theoretical developments and tool-kits of Modern Linguistics. Detailed description of phenomena in these languages may also challenge the existing linguistic theories and lead to further theorization.

Rajesh Bhatt (UMass, Amherst). The phenomena to be discussed include case,
