Abstract
Compounding is a frequent phenomenon in Tai-Kadai languages when it comes to word formation processes. Numerous individual as well as comparative researches conducted on various languages of the Tai-Kadai group provide evident testimonials to the prolific use and functionality of compounding in terms of its varied syntactic, semantic, and anthropological attributes. Tai Ahom – a Southwestern language from the Tai-Kadai group, spoken in ancient Assam, India and now extinct – demonstrates a similar phenomenon.
