The origin of Assamese Language

Hello folks. As my blogs are majorly based on Assam, so today I would like you to give a hint on origin of the Assamese language. It is the official language of the state of Assam and also spoken in some other states like Arunachal Pradesh,Nagaland,Meghalaya. A small part of the population in Bangladesh are also seen to know and use the language fluently. In the 17th century assamese was the court language of Ahom Kingdom.    It is not clear of how and where the language originated or grown but if we believe the myths it is said that it originated in Old Indo-Aryan dialects. It is also believed that Assamese and the Kamatapuri lects derive from the Kamarupi dialect of Eastern Magadhi Prakrit. But there are many who opposed it. So i guess we will never know how the language we speak now is originated by whom,when and where exactly.      The earliest form of literature of Assamese is seen in the verves of Ninth Century Buddhist known as Charyapada. Then the language can be seen

Hello....     I wrote about Goru Bihu (গৰু বিহু) yesterday and today I will be writing about Manuh Bihu (মানুহ বিহু) which is the first day of Bohag (ব'হাগ) month or new year year of Assamese folks.

In Assam this day starts with everyone getting up early and taking bath with Mah-Haladhi (মাহ-হালধি) which is a paste of Urad Bean and Turmeric. In some places people also use raw mango paste. People after the special maah halodhi bath, put on new clothes and light chaki at Gohai Ghor or Naam Ghor(the household prayer place). It is a tradition of seeking blessings from the elders by bowing and touching their feet in a family and presenting the Bihuwan or the Gamusa (গামোছা) cloth, as a gift, to be worn as a symbol of cultural pride. A 'Gamusa' is an indispensable part of Assamese life and culture with its distinctive symbolic significance. The
