Words and Lores

Words have
stories.

I am Resmi Prakash — a linguist, researcher, writer, storyteller, and environmental humanist. This is my little corner of the internet for the things I study, write, notice, and remember.

A few things I keep returning to

Language, learning, lived experience, and the quiet beauty of words that resist easy translation.

01 · LANGUAGE

Words that carry worlds

My research moves through language, migration, caste, identity and the cultural worlds that words quietly hold.

02 · LEARNING

Education beyond the classroom

I work on alternative, inclusive learning models shaped by empathy, environmental literacy and storytelling.

03 · STORIES

Writing as a bridge

My essays bring research closer to everyday experience, making difficult questions accessible without making them smaller.

Lost in Transit

An independent, long-term documentation project about untranslatable words from endangered languages of Northeast India.

Not simply an archive. A place for words to breathe, to be felt, seen and remembered.
