Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Assamese is an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily in the Indian state of Assam, where it is the official language. It is closely related to Bengali and Odia, sharing common linguistic roots but possessing its own distinct phonology, grammar, and vocabulary. The language has a rich literary tradition dating back to the 13th century, with significant contributions to poetry, drama, and prose. While Modern Standard Assamese is used in formal education and media, regional variations and dialects exist across different parts of Assam, influenced by the diverse ethnic groups residing in the state. Assamese has also absorbed loanwords from various Tibeto-Burman languages due to historical interactions and the presence of numerous indigenous communities in the region.

The Hajong language is primarily spoken by the Hajong people in Northeast India, particularly in the states of Meghalaya and Assam, as well as parts of northern Bangladesh. Though classified as an Indo-Aryan language, linguists such as Grierson and Masica have proposed that it is a Tibeto-Burman-based creole. Hajong shares some similarities with Assamese and Bengali, the two major Indo-Aryan languages of the region. At the same time, it exhibits grammatical features found in neighboring Tibeto-Burman languages. A distinctive phonological trait of Hajong is the inclusion of an additional close back unrounded vowel /ɯ/, absent in other Indo-Aryan languages but typical in Tibeto-Burman ones. According to one hypothesis, the language may have originated from a Sino-Tibetan base and was later relexified by Old Bengali. Currently, Hajong is written using both the Latin and Bengali-Assamese scripts. Each writing system includes a unique character specifically designed to represent the extra vowel sound /ɯ/.
