This is mainly Banpara Naga. Contiguous tribes often have so many 
words in common as to be able to converse ; while in other cases the differ¬ 
ences are so great, that the dialects are mutually unintelligible. 
The letter r at end of a word seems rare, so far I have not met a 
single uase, and I am inclined to think it is never used, inasmuch as all 
Assamese vyords used by them that so end, have the final r turned into 
t, as khar (gunpowder) to kliat, kapor (cloth) into kaput, &c.
