Megam language

Megam is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in Kalmakanda subdistrict, Netrokona district, Mymensingh division, Bangladesh. It is most closely related to Garo, but has been strongly influenced by Khasian languages, to the extent that it is only 7–9% lexically similar to with A’beng, the neighboring Garo dialect, but 60% similar to the Khasian language Lyngngam.
