DESCRIPTION
This book is by far the most complete description of the Garo language ever published. Its focus is on the dialect of Garo that is spoken in Bangladesh and that is call "Mandi" by its speakers. All dialects of Garo are mutually intelligible, however, and most of what is described here is true of the dialects spoken in the Garo Hills as well.
