Tagin & Sulung tribes of Arunachal: A sociolinguistic survey, NLCI 2007 says that Tagin and Nisi are two different languages. Nisi language shows 54-60% of lexical similarity with T agin.

The LUAV Questionnaire finding is Tagin is used widely in almost all of the important domains, and the mother tongue speakers of Tagin have a very good, positive attitude toward it. Tagins would like to see their language developed.
