The objective of this paper is to analyse and interpret the measurement system reflected as a part of cognitive grammar which is prevalent in different indigenous knowledge systems. Though measurement has remained as part of physics, mathematics or statistics, it can be perceived from the socio-cultural and linguistics point of view. The taxonomy associated with measurement theory of each community provides relevance and continuity of a world view. For better understanding of an indigenous community, the classification of certain lexical items and its semantics value needs to be explored. But in case of a multilingual society where more indigenous languages are in usage, the adjectives used by the multilingual speech community can be interpreted from different points of view. The indigenous/regional languages: Kurukh, Mundari and Sadri have been taken into consideration as the case study of three communities spoken in Ranchi and Khunti districts of Jharkhand, India. All three languages belong to three different languages: Dravidian, Austro-Asiatic and Indo-Aryan. First of all, this paper will explore the nature and structure of measurement in each language and culture. Then the classification of lexical items are to be categorized from the lexical semantics perspective. The comparative study of the proposed linguistic communities is to be followed. But for multilingual speakers, the nature of preference and usage of the measurement items may provide a different value in semantics as well as in sociolinguistics. This can also explore the mathematical value of different indigenous communities and its relevance in the present day society.
