Padam;
Milang rituals and songs are generally conducted in Padam
A majority of contemporary Milang are fully bilingual in Padam, and those who emigrate from the Milang area typically adopt Padam in preference to Milang. Significant numbers of Milang speak no second language other than Padam (i.e. they do not speak Hindi, Assamese, or English). (pg. 9)
