"Outline Grammar of the Singpho Language: As Spoken by the Singphos, Dowanniyas, and Others Residing in the Neighbourhood of Sadiya" by J. F. Needham offers a comprehensive study of the Singpho language, focusing on its grammatical structure, phonetics, and syntax. Needham meticulously documents the linguistic features of the Singpho people, providing illustrative sentences, a phrasebook, and a vocabulary to aid learners and researchers. This work not only serves as a vital resource for understanding the Singpho language but also contributes to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the communities surrounding Sadiya in Assam, India.

Jack Francis Needham OBE (1842–1924) was a British officer in the Bengal Police, serving as Political Officer in Sadiya, Assam, from 1882. He explored the Eastern Himalayan region, notably the Adi area, fostering British relations with local Tani tribes. Needham is recognized for his pioneering work on Sino-Tibetan and Tai-Kadai languages, authoring grammars for Mising, Singpho, and Tai Khamti, along with an ethnographic travelogue detailing his journey to South-Eastern Tibet. His contributions significantly enhanced the understanding of the region's languages and cultures.
