Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Assamese, also known by its endonyms Asamiya or Oxomiya, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken mainly in the north-eastern Indian state of Assam, where it is an official language. It has long served as a lingua franca in parts of Northeast India. It has over 15 million native speakers and 8.3 million second language speakers according to Ethnologue, although this claim is widely disputed by academics, based on census figures. Assamese was designated as a classical Indian language by the Government of India on 3 October 2024 on account of its antiquity and literary traditions.
