Welcome to Rabha Heritage and Faith, your online resource for all topics related to the Rabha language and culture. Our mission is to promote the language and culture of the Rabha people. It is written in two languages (Rabha Rangdani and English). There are many reasons why the Rabhas speak the Rabha language. Thirty percent of the people speak the Rabha language. Some people like Rangdani, Mayturi, Koch etc. speak the Rabha language. The rest of the Rabhas who do not speak the Rava language are scattered in different places like Bangladesh, Bangalore etc. in our neighboring states.
The dominance of more widely spoken languages, such as Assamese (Pathi Rabha) or Bengali, has led to a decline in the use of Rabha, especially in urban areas and formal settings. Schools often give preference to national or regional languages over native languages. As a result, children do not receive formal education in Rabha, which reduces their fluency and use in daily life. But at present the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council is teaching the Rabha language to the people who do not speak the Rabha language in Tangla and Rabha Hasong area. Intermarriage and living in a mixed community result in more dominant or common language use at home, which may reduce the use of Rabha. Migration to urban areas for better job opportunities has exposed Rabha speakers to other language-dominated environments, reducing their opportunities to speak their mother tongue. The limited representation of the Rabha language in the media (television, radio, internet) means that there are few opportunities to hear and learn the language in everyday contexts. Therefore, our goal will take the Rabha people forward.
