Why This Archive Exists

The Dai–Ahom Language Archive (DALA) is an independent effort to document language, belief systems, oral traditions, and historical memory of Dai communities across Northeast India and Southeast Asia.

This platform is not driven by trends or social media, but by continuity — preserving knowledge that was traditionally passed from generation to generation.
