Social website in Assamese language launched
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI,
March 7 – Popularity of social networking sites throughout the world
has encouraged a young Assamese entrepreneur to launch a new networking
site- entirely in Assamese language, equipped with the most advanced and
popular application methods, which is easy to operate like other such
popular sites. Prasangik.com, as the site has been named, is prepared
on the model of facebook - a very popular networking site, by Rajdeep
Sarma of Assam and the site is already operational in the exhibition
mode. The website is also accessible through mobile phones supporting
the latest versions of Android application. The website is first of its kind in
India, as claimed by the developers of the same. Addressing
the media here, Sarma said that the Prasangik is more than just a
social networking site. “After working in the field of web development
for a considerable period of time, I have developed this site which can
be operated by any person, who has the basic knowledge of typing in the
computer key board and Assamese phonetics,” he said. “Earlier,
typing in Assamese language required downloading the software like
Ramdhenu, Shreelipi etc., but thanks to the Unicode system, using the
digital version of Assamese language has become much easier. In our
website, no additional software is required and it also has a typing
guide in every page, to help those who find any kind of letter,
specially the Yuktakshar,” he added. Developing the sites
entailed a lot of work on designing the font, making it compatible on
all the servers etc. Those registering with this site would also be able
to upload photos and videos, one to one chatting and preliminary photo
editing. “We wanted to make it more than a website thus a
Wikipedia has also been incorporated where people can contribute their
write ups in various segments. Though in a nascent stage, it is an
ambitious project, where we want to create a huge archive of Assamese
literature making the search easier for the future,” Sarma mentioned. “The
idea behind developing a website is popularizing wide use of Assamese
language and making it convenient for Assamese people to express their
thoughts in their mother tongue”, he said.
