Assamese Language
Assamese language is from the northeastern part of India. It is spoken by over 17.32 million people in the Indian state of Assam and some parts of Bhutan. It belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family which also include Hindi, Bengali and Marathi. This means it shares some similarities with these languages.
The history of Assamese is more than a thousand years. It started developing from old Indo-Aryan languages around the 7th century. In the middle ages, it began to have its own writing style in which many religious texts and poems were written. In the 19th century, printing helped Assamese grow even more with the publication of books and newspapers. This period saw the standardization of the language.
Assamese is written using Assamese script. This script is similar to Bengali script but has different style. It has 41 letters which include vowels and consonants. It also has different signs and symbols used to represent different sounds. It is written from left to right like English. The shape of the letters is flowing and rounded which makes it visually appealing.
Assamese language is very important to the Assam culture. Its literature include a variety of poetries stories and plays. Some famous Assamese writers include Srimanta Sankardev(a saint-scholar) and Lakshminath Bezbaroa(a prominent author). This language is important in assam festivals like Bihu, where people sing and dance in Assamese. It is also used in schools, colleges, newspapers and television in Assam.
