Kokborok is the native language of the Borok people and is primarily spoken in the state of Tripura, India. It is part of the Sino-Tibetan language family and is widely used among indigenous tribes such as the Jamatia, Reangs, Brus, Noatia, and Rupini. Due to decreasing usage, UNESCO has classified Kokborok as a vulnerable language in its Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger. The demand to include Kokborok in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution reflects efforts to protect and promote the language through official recognition and broader institutional support.
