| The [[Constitution of India]] categorizes the tribes of Assam into two groups: Scheduled Tribes (Hills) and Scheduled Tribes (Plains).<ref name="st"/> Since hills tribes living in the plains and plains tribes living in the hills in large numbers are not recognised as scheduled tribes in the respective places, the census data may not reflect the correct figures.<ref name="st"/> The Assam Tribune has claimed that if these categories of tribes are counted the actual population.<ref name="st"/> Assamese language is used as the [[lingua franca]] by almost all the tribes.<ref name="st"/> Various other indigenous communities of Assam were all tribes but were later attained non-tribal status through [[proselytization]] like the Ahoms, Morans, Motak, Keot(Kaibarta), Sutiya, Nath, Koch Rajbongshi etc.
