Abstract: Language use is inevitable in the existence of the human race. It is, therefore, dynamic and changes over time. Human languages are open system (they welcome new words), so new words always get added to them while some words undergo semantic expansion. Languages do not exist outside societies that use them.

Abstract: We must bear in mind that democratic principles are the pillars of the Khasi way of life in every sphere of activity.

At the same time, the authority is so interlink between that of the mother's brother and the mother in such a way that no authority can be exercise without the existence of either of the gender. In this way one is wondering as to how the day to day requirement of Khasi family are run and managed when there is no one to look after the interest of the family of equal members............
