Basic Odia phrases 1:

Hello, নমস্কার - ନମସ୍କାର (Nômôskār)

How are you, তুমি কেমন আছো / আপনি কেমন আছেন - କେମିତି ଅଛନ୍ତି? (Kemiti ôchônti?) / ଆପଣ କିପରି ଅଛନ୍ତି? (Āpôṇô kipôri ôchônti?)

wait, what? 😑

Literally all Indian languages (the ones written in Persian script being an exception) are written from left to right. Couldn't Amazon find something else to say about the Eastern languages or about Assamese? 💀 Why do I feel like some lazy American dude, sipping coffee in the office, just copy pasted sh*t from the internet? 💀💀💀

@amazon you can do better than this...

P.S. please don't delay my packages for posting this 🌚

The Odia (Oriya) Language/ ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଭାଷା

(Part 1)

Endonym: ଓଡ଼ିଆ (oṛiā)

Language family: Indo-European>Indo-Aryan>Eastern>Magadhi Prakrit>Odra Prakrit>Odia

Writing script: Odia script 

Sister languages: Angika, Bengali, Bishnupriya Manipuri, Maithili

Total number of speakers: 50 million (approx.)

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

Well, firstly, they are related languages. Both the languages evolved from Magadhi Prakrit and share a lot of common words and phonology. Also, Odia culture has greatly affected Bengalis and vice versa. The Medinipuri dialect of Bengali (spoken in most parts of Medinipur Division of West Bengal, India.) seems to have been influenced by the local Odia dialects.
