[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] Aka Pygmies of NE India [Assam] (Hruso, Hrusso) Hiphop Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7epBWBzjjdY&feature=youtu.be Songe Nimasow and friend Khandu Degio rap in the endangered Aka language of Arunachal Pradesh, India, near Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Bhutan and China. Guy on right appears to be a Asian Pygmy. I'd heard of Burmese pygmies, I think these are them. Words seem like Malay pronunciation but different cf Aka Bea Pygmies of Andaman Islands cf Aka, Baka, Bayaka Pygmies of Congo cf Samre Pear Negritos of Cambodia Wikipedia: Aka "Aka (tribe)" redirects here. For the Pygmy tribe in Africa, see Aka people. For the subtribe of Hani, see Akha people. Aka Alternative names: Hrusso[1] The Aka, also known as Hrusso, are found in the Thrizino (cultural hub), Bhalukpong (commercial hub), Buragaon, Jamiri, Palizi, Khuppi area in West Kameng of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. The Aka share strong cultural affinities with the Miji, and intermarriage with the Miji is prevalent.[3] Handicrafts, basket weaving and wood carving are the principal arts among the Aka tribe. Dual language[edit] Among the Aka live a second group of people, with their own language, the Koro. They are culturally integrated with the Aka, but have somehow maintained their separate, only distantly related Tibeto-Burman language. Koro has more similarities with the Tani language group, in easternmost Tibet. There are thought to be 800 to 1200 remaining speakers of Koro, and 4,000 to 6,000 speakers of Aka. Face tattooing is another notable feature among some Aka. Especially in the case of the women, they tattoo their faces in a straight line from the forehead to the chin (cf Ainu women, West Coast AmerIndian women) The Aka are mainly Animists–who are described to follow a variant of the Nyezi-No religion, which means Sky and Earth.[5] Shizhou proved to be the most popular form of magic ritual among the Aka, and anybody who is angry may resort to conduct Shizhou rituals on his foe. The rituals of Shizhou involve slaughtering a dog, draining the blood from its head, and either sprinkling a few drops of the blood onto the enemy undetected, throwing them into his house, or burning them in his hearth. If the ritual succeeds, the enemy is supposed to lose his life. - - - The area around is hill forest with cloud orchards, orchids, hoolok gibbons, crocs... Aka linked to Hani Negritos of Thailand, Koro linked to Tani of Tibet. http://www.webindia123.com/arunachal/people/akas.htm http://www.ethnologue.com/language/hru [/QB][/QUOTE]
