    Abstract

    In the northeastern portion of the Indian subcontinent, the presence of two language families stretches back into prehistory. What light can historical linguistics, linguistic palaeontology, archaeology, palaeoeth-nobotany and human population genetics shed on the ancient origins of Austroasiatic and Tibeto-Burman? Which new questions arise from these interdisciplinary insights?
