By the end of 20 17, there were 168 languages in South Asian languages, which were distributed in the southern borders of India, Bengal, Nepal and China, with a total population of about 65,438+170,000. Among these languages, only Vietnamese, Khmer and Mongolian have a long history, and only Vietnamese and Khmer are the official languages of Vietnam and Khmer respectively. Kasai is the official language of Megara yabang, India, while Hoh and Mundali are the official languages of Debon, Calkin, India. The main feature of South Asian language family is that the consonant system is comprehensive, and there are obvious differences among unvoiced, voiced and voiced sounds.

In many Mon-Khmer languages, there are cases where the internal sonic boom is used as glottic nasal and flowing sound. Suffixes at the end of words are often uninterrupted. The vowel system is rich, and vowels are often divided into four levels: high, front, middle and back. Long vowels are common, but nasal vowels are uncommon. South Asian languages are usually not tonal language. Grammatically, the general word order of sentences is subject-verb-object, and Mongolian is subject-object-verb; Adjectives usually follow the nouns they modify; Syntactically, passive structure is also used, and prepositions are often used instead of suffixes. In vocabulary, the structure of a word is usually a large syllable, and sometimes a small syllable can be added before it. The main syllables are "(consonant)-consonant-vowel-consonant"; A minor syllable is a consonant-vowel or syllable consonant. Most roots are monosyllabic. Prefixes and infixes are common, but suffixes are uncommon, except for Monday and Nicobar. The morphological changes of Mongolian language are very complicated. South Asian languages often borrow words from neighboring or influential big languages, such as Mongolian and Khmer, Sanskrit and Pali, while losing many original words. Animal names are often taboo, so nicknames are often used. They usually use a related word, such as "uncle" and "grandfather", followed by a pun describing this animal. After a period of time, other names became standard names, but the official names gradually disappeared.
