Get to Know the Assamese language of northeast India
The Assamese language is an Indo-Aryan language, and is thus part of the wider Indo-European language family.
It is predominantly spoken in the northeast Indian state of Assam, as well as the neighbouring states of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
Of its roughly 23.5 million speakers, around 15 million speak it as their first language.
The Assamese language is written in the Assamese script.

Do you make videos or resources for learning a specific language? Feel free to get in touch so I can add links to your work on the relevant Get to Know page for that language, or in the relevant How to Learn Languages guide.
As well as helping people to learn languages, encouraging linguistic diversity, and raising awareness for the rights of indigenous peoples, I hope How to Learn Languages will also help to grow the audiences of anyone creating resources for learning languages.
