Kamrupi from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamrupi <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamrupi> Kamrupi (Assamese <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assamese_language> : à¦à¦¾à¦®à§°à§à¦ªà¦¿, Bengali <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language> : à¦à¦¾à¦®à¦°à§à¦ªà¦¿) is the language that was spoken in the Kamarupa <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamarupa_%28History%29> kingdom in the first millennium, which, some linguists claim, gave rise to or influenced various eastern Indo-European languages like Assamese <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assamese_language> and Bengali <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language> .
During British India <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_India> at some point Kamrup <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamrup> was divided into two big districts for administrative reasons one added to Assam <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assam> and other to Bengal <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal> . Slowly after this division, same Kamrupi gets dialect status of Assamese <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assamese_language> and Bengali <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language> although both Assamese <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assamese_language> and Bengali <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language> rooted out from mighty Kamrupi. Kamrupi today is an endangered <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endangered_language> language, and it will probably go to "dead" state like Latin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin> and Sanskrit <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit> . Endangered languageKamrupi is an endangered language <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endangered_language> . The language is defined by uniquely identifiable Kamrupi grammar where Sanskritize pronunciation is used to compose present perfect form. This grammar is heavily used by Kamrupi speakers all over greater Kamrup now including in Assam and West Bengal. At least 95% of the "sloka" composed in yester year scriptures use this unique Kamrupi grammar. Kamrupi came to endangered language <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endangered_language> during British India <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_India> when for administrative reasons Kamrup <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamrup> was divided into two big districts one added to Bengal <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal> and the other to Assam <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assam> . Thus, Kamrupi since than has never been written but only spoken and do not have a State Language <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=State_Language&action=edit&re\ dlink=1> status in India <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India> . It also claims that the standard languages, Bengali <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language> and Assamese <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assamese_language> , as well as the different dialects belonging to these language groups like Radhi, Virendari etc. have branched out of Kamrupi. This claim is not well substantiated because Bengali and other languages have had independent developments since the 14th century <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_century> .
