MOHONGI.
About eight miles to the east of the Banpar
s, and the same distance to
the west of the Namsangis lie the Mohongis, who are also called Borduari
and Pniduari.
Brown in his Specimens
classes the 'Bor-Duor' and the 'Pani-Duor' as speaking the same language as
the Namsangis. The only other information
which we possess about Mohongi is
a list of the numerals given by Peal in Appendix I to his Visit to Ng
Hills, which I reproduce
here. With them, for the sake of comparison, are also given the corresponding
words in Banpar and Namsangi.
