Pluralisation is one of the primary grammatical categorical features of nouns of a language. It has been always a priority in the history of grammatical study. Still, it is always not enough to study such a grammatical category in traditional linguistics only. It needs a detailed and complete study on such a basic category of a language. Thus, the pluralisation in Bodo, a Bodo-Garo group of language under Tibeto-Burman family, spoken in India by 14, 82,929 people in India (Census of India 2011, 2016 June) need to be studied in much more detail than the available study on it. There are suffixation or morphological and syntactic processes of pluralisation in the language. Both of these processes need further study in understanding the number system. This study attempts to find out all the pluralisation processes in Bodo and analyse and discuss them afresh in the light of the available literature on it. There are a number of lacunae and gaps in the available study on number system in the language §3. Those are analysed and discussed in the present study.
