I was reading something in Assamese last night and I came across this really cool idiom:

বাঘোৰ লেঙুৰেদি কাণ খুজ।

(bāghûr leṅuredi kān khuj)

Which means:

To scratch your ear with a tiger's tail.

And I guess it indicates doing something wickedly audacious xd.

The বাংলা version would be:

বাঘের লেজ দিয়ে কান চুলকানো।

(bāgher lej diye kān culkāno)

Nice one, right?

The Assamese Alphabet/অসমীয়া বৰ্ণমালা

(Part 2)

(Read Part 1 here)

The Assamese alphabet or Assamese script, is a writing system of the Assamese language. This script was also used in Assam and nearby regions for Sanskrit as well as other languages such as Bodo (now Devanagari), Khasi (now Roman), Mising (now Roman), Jaintia (now Roman) etc. It evolved from Kamarupi script.

The present standard is identical to the Bengali alphabet except for two letters, ৰ (ro) and ৱ (vo); and the letter ক্ষ (khya) has evolved into an individual consonant by itself with its own phonetic quality whereas in the Bengali alphabet it is a conjugate of two letters.

The Assamese Language/ অসমীয়া ভাষা

(Part 1)

Endonym: অসমীয়া (ôxomiyā)

Language family: Indo-European>Indo-Aryan>Eastern>Bengali-Assamese>Kamarupi>Assamese

Writing script: Assamese-Bengali script (Eastern Nagari)

Sister languages: Angika, Bengali, Bishnupriya Manipuri, Chakma, Hajong, Maithili, Sylheti*

*language, not the Sylheti-Bengali dialect, it's time we recognize it.

Total number of speakers: 15 million (approx.)

Why we Bengali speakers or Bengali culture enthusiasts should bother to know about this language?

Because Assamese and Bengali are closely related languages. They use the same writing script with some differences in the pronunciation and letter. Assam lies to the north-east of the Bengal region and hence there has been a lot of cultural exchange between the ethnic groups of the two regions over the centuries. Thus knowing more about Assamese/Axomiya culture can tell us a lot about Bengali culture as well. Knowing related languages can help us get a better understanding of our target language. And it's fun too!!

Some things I want to address...

(WARNING: Please do not continue reading if you can't digest views n opinions :) )

Also, owing to the current problem with Bangladeshi refugees, there's been some ongoing strife between the two communities. My wish is to end any form of resentment that the Assamese community might have against the Bengali speakers or vice versa. I, as a Bengali, am sorry for any kind of discomfort that my community might have caused. But some misconceptions must be cleared too, without getting political about it.

It is important to understand that Assam being a multiethnic state for quite a lot time, has many communities native to it. Some Bengalis too are native to Assam, particularly from Barak Valley and thus it would be wrong to consider all Bengalis as 'foreign'. I personally have had many Assamese Bengali acquaintances. They consider themselves as Bengalis and speak the language too, and at same time they are proud of their state, Assam and love to identify with it.

Secondly, not all Bengalis are Bangladeshi immigrants and not all Bangladeshi immigrants are Bengali. Also, not all Bengalis from Bangladesh or from other Indian states are illegal immigrants. Many of them are legal Indian citizens with their native lands maybe in West Bengal or Tripura who might have come to Assam due to work related reasons. They have no wish to take over the land of the natives.

The protest are against the illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and the fear is that if these people are given citizenship they might grab the lands of the natives and form a majority. It is a fair concern and support the Assamese community in their wish to prevent such disaster from happening. But the rage and effort must be put in the right direction. Please do not target the all Bengalis, most of them have nothing to do with it.

I am a native of West Bengal and a lot of us too do not want immigrants settling in our already overpopulated state. Our native youngsters will lose jobs and the native West Bengali culture too will be affected by this influx of refugees. I also understand the GoI's wish to accommodate the persecuted minorities but... surely this isn't the best way, is it?

I believe that knowing more about each other's language and culture and reinforcing the mutual respect that we had can help bring peace and cultural prosperity.

And another reason to love each other's culture... We all loved Bhupen da didn't we?

জয় আই অসম! জয় বাংলা! জয় হিন্দ!

Jôy āi Axom! Jôy Bāṅglā! Jôy Hind!🇮🇳
