This short description of Mising animistic religion will remain incomplete unless a few words are said about the ‘Mibu’. The Mibu is the traditional priest of the Misings. He is the link between men and the gods. He is supposed to possess supernatural powers and can foretell the will of the gods. On all religious and festive occasions, his presence is essential. The Mibus chant songs on the occasion of religious offerings to the gods, which can be compared with the "mantras" uttered by the Hindu Brahmins. These songs are called "Mibu-abang". It is said that Mibu-abang cannot be understood by the common Missing. Whatever we know about the Mising culture is through Mibuabang. It is necessary that specimens of such songs be collected and studied separately.

13. Though the Missing are attached to their traditional way of life, culture and religion, most of them have adopted, at present, Hinduism. The whole Mising society is, at present in a flux. They have already accepted many policies and conventions of the Hindu faith and the Hindu society. Even their modern names suggest this. Most of the Mising are followers of Shankardeo, a religious reformer during the medieval period in Assam. Some of them are devotees of the "Shakti-cult" and worship goddess Durga and lord Shiva. Those who are exposed to Hinduism are called "Bhakat". However, it is interesting that those who have been exposed to Hinduism still follow their traditional ethics with utmost sincerity. The Hindu caste system and image worship have not yet entered the arena of their religious faith. Religion-wise, the Missing community is divided almost equally into animists and followers of Hinduism.

14. As pointed out earlier, the Missing are mainly agriculturists. They have a number of festivals connected with sowing and harvesting crops, among which ‘aliai-ligang’ and ‘porag’ are important. Aliai-ligang is their main festival. It is the festival of sowing season. The sowing of seeds begins with the arrival of monsoon. The festival is celebrated with pomp and luxury. Men and women eat, drink and dance together. It coincides with the Assamese "bihu" festival. Porag is celebrated after the harvest. All the arrangements for this festival are done by the Mimbir-yame (committee of young boys and girls). It is celebrated for three days. It is initiated by the Mibu after sacrifices. The whole community, old and young irrespective of sex, join together, dressed in their best to celebrate this festival.

15. Earlier works-

The Christian missionaries were the first to write the Mising language in Roman script. Following is the list of writings on the Mising language.

1. Abor Miri Primer Jackman, L.W.B.             Govt. of Assam (1908)

2. A Dictionary of Abor Miri language            Shillong (1907)

3. Preliminary notes on Abor Miri, Dafla consonantism Bulletin of the Bihar Tribal Research Institute 
Vo. 1  No.1 (1959)

4. Outline grammar of Sosi-yang Miri language as spoken by the Miris of that clan residing in the
neighbourhood of Sadiya Shillong (1886)

5. Isorkodoying Shillong (1997)

6. Notes on the languages spoken by various hill tribes inhabiting the valley of Assam J.A.S.B, 
Vo.18 (1849)

7. Linguistic Survey of India, G.A. Grierson Vol.III, Part I. (1967 RP)

Perhaps, the earliest work done on this language is J.F.Needham’s grammar based on the Sayang dialect published from Shillong in 1886. Grierson’s account of the language in LSI is based on this grammar. I could not consult this grammar. It was not available to me. I had a chance to consult "Isorkodoying" published from Shillong by the missionaries. It is a translation of the Bible. It was also translated into the Sayang dialect, where Assamese words are freely borrowed wherever necessary.
