sir, can you tell me where is ASSAMESE & KAMRUPI in the below map. Is this like that in whole the Brahmaputra vally Bangla is spoken? Where we ASSAMESE speaker are? As long as my knowledge is concern ASSAMESE not derived from BANGLA( as some Banglawala say), it is derived from Sanskreet & its Grammer is totally different from Bangla. Is it to prove there is no ASSAMESE language over brahmaputra vally?( In Brahmaputra vally Bangla is rarely use only in families not in public). Please answer my question. Regard Ujjwal Saikia B.Tech student National Institute of Technology- Hamirpur(HP) Click on the link for the map and click on the map for larger view http://www.iitg.ernet.in/rcilts/images/lingmap.jpg In this Linguistic map which is published by RESOURCE CENTER FOR INDIAN LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS - IIT GUWAHATI there is no "ASSAMESE" anywhere in the map but full of "BANGLA", tell me where is "ASSAMESE"
