The 7th North East Indian Linguistics Society (NEILS7) workshop and conference was held from 31 January to 4 February 2012 at the Don Bosco Institute, Khaghuli Hills, in Guwahati, Assam. The event was organised by Jyotiprakash Tamuli and Anita Tamuli (Gauhati University), Mark Post (James Cook University) and Stephen Morey (La Trobe University). It was heartening to see many new as well as familiar faces, including local researchers from across India (particularly Assam and Manipur) and international ones from Australia, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Of the countries neighbouring North East India, we also had researchers from Nepal, Bhutan, and, for the first time at a NEILS conference, researchers from Bangladesh.
