Assamese language

Indo-Aryan language of India

Assamese, also known by its endonyms Asamiya or Oxomiya (অসমীয়া Ôxômiya [ɔxɔmija]), 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.
