Linguistically Karbi is a Tibeto-Burman language. The original home of various people speking Tibeto-Burman language was in western china,near the yang-tee- kiang and hwang-ho rivers. And from this place they went down to the course of the Brahmaputra and entered India.( Indranoshee Das,2005). According to the anthropologist, Karbi belongs to the Mongoloid group. The old name of Karbi is Mikir. Presently, the Karbi community is mainly found in Karbi Anglong and other parts of Assam. The Karbi inhabited areas of Assam are Dimahaso , Kamrup, Morigaon, Nagaon, Golaghat, Lakhimpur , Sonitpur and Biswanath. The Karbi Autonomous district was established on 17th November 1951. Their total population is 8,13,311 according to the 2011 census. Only 11.30% population live in urban area, while the rest live in 2563 villages in rural area. The medium of education in Hills and Plains are Assamese and English . In Hills, few Christian schools teach Karbi language. Most of the students go to the Assamese or English Medium in the Hills area. The Karbi people of Assam use their karbi language for communication in their society. As we know, Karbi speech community is a bilingual speech community. They have wide spread bilingualism among them. They use Assamese language as their common medium of conversation in all purposes. As Assamese language is State language of Assam, hence it is the dominant language of entire State. As Karbi is a minority language, they use Assamese language very frequently in their society. Assamese language enjoys a higher status than Karbi language in their society.Karbi people treat Assamese language as a high(h) language and Karbi as a low(l) language. As wide spread bilingualism is seen among the Karbi speech community, so we can see Fishman's concept of Bilingualism with Diglossia prevailed here.
